By the end of November, the total agriculture sector’s trade surplus value gained US$ 8.2 billion, of which, US$ 5 billion came from fisheries– a new record up to now, said the Agricultural Deputy Minister Vu Van Tam at the meeting of National Steering Committee on brackish water shrimp’s disease prevention.

In Jan-Nov period, the country’s seafood export turnover reached US$ 7.22 billion, an increase of 19.3 per cent compared to the same period last year.

 

With this growth, by 2015 Viet Nam’s seafood exports turnover would reach US$ 8 billion, which meets the target of Viet Nam’s fisheries development strategy until 2020.
