Five European countries have removed Vietnam’s tra fish from the Red List in the consumer guide published in six European countries, said Nguyen Huu Dung, deputy chairman of Vietnam Association of Seafood Exports and Producers (VASEP).
The five countries carrying out the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF)’s pledge include German, Austria, Norway, Belgium and Denmark.
In a meeting between WWF and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, one week ago, the WWF also recommended consumers buy tra fish from Vietnam.
This move has been accompanied by Vietnam’s commitment to apply the WWF’s ASC standards to sustainably ‘tra fish’ development.
Vietnam will ask the WWF to remove Vietnam’s tra fish from the Red List in Sweden, said Mr.Dung.
