Japan to consume Vietnamese tuna
(VOV) - Japanese businesses are interested in tuna products from Binh Dinh, Phu Yen, and Khanh Hoa, provided they meet the usual quality and hygiene standards.
Binh Dinh Provincial People’s Committee Chairman Le Huu Loc revealed the information after attending a recent trade promotion conference in Japan.
He said Japanese businesses pay special attention to ocean tuna quality depending on processing and preservation techniques rather than fishing methods.

Binh Dinh province fishermen have caught more than 7,320 tonnes of tuna since the beginning of 2013 but export prices are falling.
Loc said Japan is also interested in hiring Vietnamese migrant agro-forestry and seafood labourers. Employees will be trained in how to harvest, process and preserve farm products, including tuna. The provincial Department of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs is developing plans to send workers to Japan, majoring in tuna processing and preservation.
