Therefore, sales will not increase sharply in the last months of the year. However, the company still ensures to complete the year plan with sales and profit targets of 200 million USD and 250 billion VND, respectively.
Fimex is changing its strategy, focusing more on lowering the cost by investing in farming
Regarding shrimp farming activities, Fimex VN is conducting the harvesting for processing. The company evaluates that shrimp development is not favorable compared to the right season, but in general this solution is much better and profitable. At the same time, Fimex VN is renovating a new 203-hectare area so that it can be reared in Q2/2023.
At the beginning of June, Fimex VN announced an investment of 200 billion VND to develop a 203-hectare farming area in Soc Trang, proactively sourcing raw materials for production and business. Fimex VN aims to have 500 hectares of shrimp farming by 2025, currently making use of 302 hectares.
Besides, Fimex VN is completing a new factory, the progress is delayed due to the slow delivery of foreign machinery and equipment suppliers because of the lack of production materials and the delay in transportation. However, the management said that this does not cause pressure because currently the output of raw materials is only moderate.
