Ngoc Tri Seafood to earn US$4 million of December shrimp exports
(vasep.com.vn) Through November 2013, Ngoc Tri Seafood Comapny (Ngoc Tri Seafood) exported 3,000 MT of shrimp of all products and varieties to generate US$37 million; 55 percent of which was black tiger shrimp, whiteleg shrimp 40 percent. The rest was wild white shrimp.
The Soc Trang-based firm’s products were mainly sent to the Middle East, the Philippins and the EU. The global market is showing stronger demand for catched white shrimp but the landings of the species are not available as black tiger and whiteleg shrimp.
In 2013, Ngoc Tri Seafood met difficulties in processing this kind of shrimp due to lack of raw material and workers.
In December 2013, the company expected to sell 400 MT of shrimp abroad for US$4 million of revenue.
