Vietnam's seafood industry praised by Australian television

The 16-minute documentary positively assesses the prospects of Vietnam's seafood industry.

On the evening of February 15, 2014, Australia's ABC Landline Television broadcast a 16-minute film introducing aquaculture and fishing in Vietnam. The film was made in June 2013 in coordination with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, the Consulate General of Vietnam and the Vietnam Trade Office in Sydney, and the Australian Seafood Importers Association.

The film has very positive and objective reviews of Vietnam's seafood farming, processing and export processes.

According to Mr. Normant Grant, President of the Australian Seafood Importers Association, every year Australians consume about 1 million tons of seafood, of which the Australian domestic market can only meet 20% of this demand, the remaining 80% is imported. Australia is currently importing all products from Asian countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, China and Vietnam. Last year Australia imported more than 160 million USD worth of seafood from Vietnam and this year it is predicted that the turnover could exceed 200 million USD.

Mr. Normant Grant said that this is the first time the Australian media has had a very comprehensive, objective and positive assessment of seafood farming and processing in Vietnam. The film has been highly appreciated by Australian public opinion, especially seafood importers./.
