Pangasius producers and exporters are calling for loosened credit from commercial banks as they lack capital to maintain and expand business and exports.
The pangasius industry, which has never faced such a crisis, has seen the closure of many seafood-production companies, especially in the Mekong River Delta, according to the Viet Nam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP).
More than 90 percent of businesses in the field are facing a serious capital shortage and have been running 50 percent to 70 percent under capacity, VASEP vice president Nguyen Huu Dung told participants at a conference held Tuesday.
