"The government should let seafoodenterprises invest in the construction,” an executive of Minh Phu Seafood toldDau tu (Viet Nam Investment Review) newspaper.
"[It] can then refund them or offer them taxbreaks or preferential land and financial policies,” he said. "[Theindustry] has called on the Government to invest in drainage for 10 years, buthas received no reply."
