BAC LIEU (Biz Hub)— Aquatic exports of Bac Lieu Province in the first five months of 2014 leapt by 68 per cent from the year before to reach US$170 million, highest ever for the period.

Prices of aquatic exports have increased by $2-3 per kilogram on average, benefiting both farmers and businesses.

In recent years, local exporters have reportedly paid due attention to protecting their trademarks and ensuring the quality of products, while authorities have also facilitated their access to preferential credit sources to renovate production lines.

In the future, managerial agencies plan to help Bac Lieu, in the Cuu Long (Mekong) Delta Region, business circle expand their partnership with foreign enterprises to boost trade. Businesses will also receive more assistance to build their own aquatic farms in order to ensure a stable and quality input.— VNS
