Regarding the warning on some export batches or others that were returned due to contamination, there was a need to clarify their origins, the ministry said.
In the first five months of this year, fisheries exports reached a revenue of US$2.43 billion, rising slightly by 1.1% over the same period last year, the ministry’s statistics have revealed.
