Viet Nam, U.S. launch aquaculture value chain project to develop tilapia sector

By strengthening linkages across production, processing and trade, while leveraging U.S. strengths in supply chain development and feed inputs, the “U.S.–Viet Nam aquaculture value chain partnership” is expected to bring a fundamental shift to Viet Nam’s tilapia sector. The project aims to position tilapia as a new export pillar, raise farmers’ incomes, increase value added in the fisheries sector, and reinforce Viet Nam–U.S. agricultural cooperation on a more substantive and sustainable footing.
