The simple, quick and free membership registration will provide seafood suppliers with quality certifications as well as market information, goods supply and demand, and consumption orientations for separate regions.

Meanwhile, the website www.pangasiusmap.com maintains a database and updated map on 200 Tra fish breeding areas belonging to businesses and households in Can Tho city and Dong Thap, Vinh Long, An Giang, Ben Tre and Tien Giang provinces, which have 1,104 breeding ponds on a total of 1,230 hectares.

Users can easily find information on the breeding area, the number of Tra fish businesses and households, and the harvest forecast on the map.

The two websites are the products of a Swiss-funded project to enhance the export capacity for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The launching of the websites opens up new information channels for trade activities and provides traceable origins of seafood to ensure the safety and transparency of the aquatic products.

Management agencies and counselors took the occasion to share experience on effective online business.

According to the national seafood development master plan until 2020, with an extended vision to 2030, Vietnam will build six major fishery development centres in Can Tho, Hai Phong, Da Nang, Khanh Hoa, Ba Ria – Vung Tau, and Kien Giang.
