BAC LIEU (Biz Hub) — The southern province of Bac Lieu earned more than US$209 million from its export of aquatic products in the first half of the year, up 64 per cent year-on-year, and representing about 59 per cent of the year's goals.

Frozen shrimp topped the list with 20,770 tonnes, 41 per cent higher than for the same period last year.

As many as 30 exporters of the product fulfilled their expected target volume and made great profits.

Much of the success is said to be due to provincial agencies who kept firms updated on any changes in domestic and foreign markets. This helped them make timely adjustments to their production and business activities.— VNS
