45 Vietnamese aquaculture facilities that raise tra fish have been recognized internationally after being awarded the GlobalGAP certificate or Global Good Agricultural Practice.
An additional 18 facilities are to be granted the certificates or in the process of applying for one.
The figures were released by the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Processors (VASEP).
GlobalGAP is an international standard assuring transparency of origin, quality and food safety at each stage of production for cultivation, animal husbandry and aquaculture.
Meanwhile, many farms raising tra fish in Vietnam have also been awarded with other international certificates like AquaGAP and SQF (Safe Quality Food).
In the first quarter of the year, Vietnam exported over 153,000 tons of tra fish worth over $376 million, an increase of 5.2 percent in quantity and 21.6 percent in value compared to the same period of the previous year.
