DEVELOPMENT OF FOOD SAFETY IN SEAFOOD INDUSTRY MAIN CONTENTS Fishery production and trading in Vietnam Fishery quality and safety control in Vietnam Main results on fishery quality control Fishery production and trading in Vietnam 1.1 Production and export value (in 2009) - In 2009, total fishery production is approximately 4.8 thousand tons, in which, aquaculture production is about 2.27 thousand tons, and catching production is about 2.56 thousand tons - Export value in 2009 is approximately 4251 million USD, while export volume is about 1.21 thousand tons 1 Fishery production and trading in Vietnam 1.2 Main exporting products in 2009 (value) Fishery production and trading in Vietnam 1.3 Main markets in 2009 (value) Other includes: Korea (7.2%); ASEAN (4.8%), China (4.7%), Australia (3.1%),… Fishery quality and safety control in Vietnam 2.1 World-wide approach in fishery quality and safety control - Control the whole production chain “From farm to table”; processors are being mandatorily applied quality management programs such as HACCP, GMP, SSOP - Traceability system is a requirement - Legal documents and standards on food hygiene and safety is more strict and based on risk assessment - Deeper socialization in third-party testing and certification activities Fishery quality and safety control in Vietnam 2.2 Vietnam’s approach in fishery quality and safety control - Establishment and capacity enhancement of the competent authority: the National Agro-Forestry-Fisheries Quality Assurance Department (NAFIQAD) under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) (previously NAFIQACEN/NAFIQAVED under the Ministry of Fisheries) - Perfecting legal documents and standards in compliant with international standards - Upgradding hygiene and safety condition of Vietnamese seafood processors meeting Vietnam’s sectoral standards and requirements of importing countries - Implementing national monitoring programs in the whole production chain - Signing bilateral and multilateral coperation arrangements on fishery food safety control with competent authorities of importing countries 2 Fishery quality control in Vietnam 2.3 State assignment on fishery quality control in Vietnam: MARD Feeds;
