However, the company is currently facing some difficulties:Cua Lo portLarge fishing vessels of 2,000 - 4,000 tons have not been exploited, so there are many shortcomings such as facilities, loading and unloading workers... and we hope that procedures will be resolved quickly to reduce production costs and product prices.

To expand the scale, the factory needs 2,000 workers but currently there are not enough to meet the demand. We hope to have a job support center to act as a bridge between businesses and workers to access more easily. In addition, we are researching support for preferential quotas, tax exemption for imported fish as raw materials for production, etc.
