Seventeen Vietnamese businesses joined their counterparts from 59
countries and territories to showcase their products at the
International Boston Seafood Show (IBSS) in Massachusetts State, the US,
from March 10-12.
Vietnam has taken part in
IBSS for 15 consecutive years. However, the scale and the diversity of
Vietnam’s exhibits at this year’s show remained modest compared with
IBSS 2012. Tra and basa fillets and other products from the fish
species by VASEP affiliates such as Hung Vuong, Bien Dong Seafood and
Biafishco companies were on display at the fair.
The
fair, the second largest of its kind in the world, introduced new
seafood products and up-to-date fishing and seafood processing and
packaging technology and services.
Within the
framework of IBSS 2013, the Vietnam Seafood Exporters and Processors (VASEP) in association with the Seafood General Department and the
TraceVerified company organized a seminar to popularize the country’s
fisheries sector.-VNA
