Vietnam Aquatic Output +4.7% in Jan-Sept
Cities and provinces in Vietnam are estimated to have caught 3.794 million tons of aquatic products between Jan and Sept, up 4.7% on-year, the General Statistics Office said.
The total volume included 2.87 million tons of fish, up 4.5%, and 412,000 tons shrimp, up 6.4% from the same period of last year, the office added.
Of the volume, more than two million tons were caught from ponds, up 4.7% on-year, including 1.526 million tons of tra fish, and 320,000 tons of shrimp, up 4.5% and 6.8% on-year, respectively.
Meanwhile, aquatic output caught from the sea grew 4.7% on-year to 1.78 million in the period, thanks to an expansion in fishing vessel fleet.
The office said Vietnam had nearly 130,000 fishing vessels by late Sept, up 1.6% on-year. (GSO)
