Nearly 40 Vietnamese businesses will take
part in the annual European Seafood Exposition to be held in Brussels , Belgium
on April 24-26.
According
to the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP), the move
aims to promote Vietnamese aquatic products to the European market.
The
fair, the largest of its kind in Europe , brings together about 1,600 seafood
producers, processors and consumers from 70 countries worldwide.
Products
and services serving the seafood processing industry will also be introduced at
the exposition.
Europe
is seen as a key market for Vietnamese aquatic products as it consumes nearly
20 per cent of the country’s fisheries exports.
However,
the General Department of Vietnam Customs said fisheries export turnover to
Europe in the first quarter of this year was just over $200 million, reflecting
a year-on-year decrease of 8 percent.
The
contraction is mainly attributed to reduced exports of shrimp and tra fish.
Meanwhile, other export items such as tuna and molluscs are still favoured in
the EU.
