DOC’s conclusion, which is known to be announced within 90 days, means that the Vietnamese business will not be subject to anti-dumping taxes.
Vietnam’s tra fish is exported to 130 countries and territories in the world, and brought in US$1.34 billion in 2009.
After a difficult year due to price declines, tra and basa breeders in the Mekong Delta region are full of hope for a smooth business year as the wholesale prices for the fish have picked up.
At present, the price stands at VND15,800 per kg, which is expected to bring a profit of VND500-800 per kg.
