According to Nguyen Thi My Nhi, general director of Tin Thinh Co., Ltd., the world market has strict requirements to product quality and origin. Satisfied products cannot export to big markets like Europe, the US, Japan, etc. The linking chain in fishing, purchasing, processing and sale encourages fishermen to raise product quality and the company to have stable input with good quality. Current demand for striped tunas is big, but the company can buy about 300 – 400 tons, 50% of which are bought in Khanh Hoa. The figure supplies only 30% of the company’s demand for export. The company expects the ammount of input materials will increases after the linking is signed.
According to Nguyen Trong Chanh, head of the provincial Fishery Agency, tuna fishing has developed strongly in the number of fishing boats as well as fishing yield. The province now has 1,297 off-shore fishing boats. Most of them fish tunas. “After the success of the linking chain between Thinh Hung Co., Ltd. and Phuoc Dong fishing cooperative group, we believe that the linking chain between Thinh Hung Co., Ltd. and Vinh Phuoc fishing cooperative group will work well. In the time to come, the agency will keep supporting fishermen and businesses to develop linking chains sustainably as well as mobilizing fishermen to join the linking chains ans establish new chains with an aim to partly raise quality and trademark of Khanh Hoa seafood”, Chanh said.
