RUSSIAN authorities have approved 11 Vietnamese seafood exporters to ship their products to the country, says the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Processors (VASEP).
The latest move comes soon after an inspection by the Russian Federal Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance Service (VPSS) to check safety standards at 20 aquaculture breeding and processing facilities in the Mekong Delta region.
Eleven of those enterprises satisfied inspectors and are now licensed to export products to Russia.
The approved companies include An Giang Fisheries Import-Export Joint Stock Company (AGIFISH Co); Southvina (Southern Fishery Industry); Mekong Group; Cafatex Fishery Joint Stock Company (Cafatex Corp); Changhua Vietnam Seafood Co (Vina Changhua); Tuan Anh Corp; Mekong Delta Food Factory; Tay Do Seafood Enterprise; Pacific Frozen Seafood Factory; Cho Lon Seafood Processing Enterprise; and the Ba Ria-Vung Tau Seafood Import-Export Processing Company.
