In 2010, HAPU could purchase about 100 MT of raw anchovy, however, this year, it could not compete with Chinese traders to buy anchovy and black pomfret. These traders buy raw fish at fishing ports at higher prices because they were not controlled by authorized agencies and did not require commercial bills.
Over recent years, HAPU’s anchovy products was exported to China with high price, but the company might lose the market as traders from China went directly to Vietnam fishing ports to purchase raw anchovy for processing.
Moreover, HAPU had to grapple with electricity cutting within 1 – 2 days a month that affected its operation. Rising in all input costs was also the reason why the company suspended its processing operation and laid off workers.
As a result, in 2011 HAPU stopped processing anchovy products and turned to export other frozen fish items to ASEAN markets like Singapore and Malaysia.
