Consequently in September 2009 Vinh Hoan-run Pangasius farming regions have been certified according to AquaGAP by IMO.
These include 17 farming ponds with an output of 10,000MT per year in Tan Hoa; 8 farming ponds with an output of 4,500MT a year in Tan Thanh; 13 ponds with 8,000MT a year in Con Ngam-My Xuong; and 11 ponds with a production of 6,000MT a year in Tan Thuan Tay.
So far, Vinh Hoan Corp has been developing and completing the Green Farm programme, which complies with AquaGAP. In 2009, Vinh Hoan Corp strives to ensure that its certified farming regions provide 40 percent of its demand for raw fish, and this figure will increase to 70 percent in the following years.
Following AquaGAP, Vinh Hoan Corp plans to get other international certificates on safe aquaculture, such as GlobalGAP and organic farming.The AquaGAP label will confirm quality of Pangasius produced by Vinh Hoan Corp in the globe market, making the company’s Pangasius products a reliable choice of consumers.
