A working delegation from the State Quarantine Inspection Department of the Russia Ministry of Agriculture and Food will arrive in Vietnam to inspect seafood processing plants from February 21-28. 
 
The visit aims to inspect the quality and food hygiene and safety of products in some Vietnamese seafood processing plants, which were subject to Russia’s temporary suspension of importing aquatic products from Vietnam since December 20, 2008.
 
Russia is a big importer of Vietnamese seafood with revenue hitting US$1.453 billion last year. (VoV)
