Vietnamese tra fish moving towards WWF 'sustainable' certification

The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) has announced that Vietnamese tra fish has been listed in the “Moving Towards Certification” category in European countries.

According to the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP), the new category is an upgrade for 2012 in the popular seafood guide and means that Vietnamese tra fish has been removed from the WWF 'red list', which was announced at the end of last year.

The new assessment from the WWF has contributed to building a more positive image of the product.

VASEP statistics show that Vietnam earned US$452 million from tra exports in the past ten months of this year, up 3 percent over the same period in 2010.
