(VOVworld)- Mekong Delta provinces have just exported 15,000 tones of tra fish, making the figure of over one month rise to 65,000 tonnes valued at nearly 200 million USD. The region is expected to ship 600,000 tonnes of the fish abroad by the end of this year, equivalent to last year’s figure. The Mekong Delta provinces of Dong Thap, An Giang, Tien Giang, Vinh Long, Hau Giang and Ben Tre, along with Can Tho city, will expand their breeding area to 6,000 hectares. These provinces are zoning plans to production areas and upgrade breeding farms in line with international standards to meet the requirements of Vietnam’s tra import markets.
