Vietnam pangasius production on downward

(pangasius-vietnam.com) In the first half of 2013, domestic pangasius production totaled around 560,000 MT, decreasing by 3 percent from that reported in the corresponding period of 2011, according to Vietnam Department of Statistics.

Some key producing provinces saw a drop in fish farming areas. An Giang has 846 hectares, down 3 percent (130,000 MT of raw fish, down 3 percent); Can Tho 746 hectares, down 5.1 percent, (61,000 MT of fish, down 6.9 percent); Vinh Long 434 hectares, down 10.6 percent (52,000 MT of fish, down 7.6 percent), Ben Tre 416 hectares, down 7.1 percent (90,000 MT of fish, down 3 percent)…

The drop in production was due to lower price of raw pangasius, rising input cost and quiet trend in demands from importing markets.
