Speaking at the 14th session of the National Steering Committee for Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) Fishing Prevention and Control, the Viet Nam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP), on behalf of the business community, conveyed the message of standing alongside the Government in the fight to protect international markets, safeguard national prestige and foster sustainable development of Viet Nam’s seafood industry.

In an effort to prevent illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing, Binh Dinh province is one of the localities that has done well in the work of verifying the origin of aquatic products. Behind the reported numbers is the difficult, but responsible and disciplined process of the fishermen there.

With the aim of removing the IUU "yellow card," protecting marine resources, and enhancing the reputation and standing of Viet Nam’s fisheries sector on the global market, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment has launched a new plan to inspect and control the import and transit of albacore tuna through Viet Nam’s territory via container ships.
