As the report, the company exported to Japan with nearly 40 MT of frozen octopus, 46.8 million fish cakes and 22.7 MT of frozen squid, total value of over US$2.2 million.
In 2010, the North and Central fishermen lost the octopus season. Thus, to ensure regular employment for thousands of workers, the company tried to import raw materials from India, but due to raw materials price up to 40 percent over the previous time, its export did not bring the earnings. Starch price in the world has fluctuated erratically, for example only day by day it increased by 50 percent.
Currently, the situation of HaLong Simexco’s seafood export to Japan is better, the large demand for import. However, the company is worrying about the lacks of labors and raw materials.
