Vietnam's seafood producers are finding it difficult to get their products onto domestic supermarket shelves due to a lack of detailed regulations about the minimum required performance limit (MRLP) applied to prohibited substances, reports VietnamNet.
In a document sent to State agencies in mid-September, the Vietnam Association of Seafood Producers and Exporters (VASEP) said that local supermarkets were refusing to sell products that had even been accepted by the European Union.
VASEP has asked ministries on multiple occasions to issue regulations regarding MRLP so that seafood companies can start selling their products in local supermarkets, but has received no response.
