The project is funded by the European Union under the Switch-Asia network of the EU and implemented by the Viet Nam Cleaner Production Centre (VNCPC).
It is designed to help Viet Nam’s Tra fish industry increase its competitiveness, expand its global market reach, and improve the sustainability of its production.
The EU will directly support the whole supply chain, bringing Viet Nam’s Tra fish to foreign importers and end-users. The EU is Viet Nam’s largest Tra fish consumer.
The project will be implemented over four years (2013–2017), focusing on increasing production capacity, enhancing product quality, and reducing environmental impact and cost of production through applying Resource Efficient and Cleaner Production (RECP) standard.
It also helps Vietnamese small and medium enterprises exchange information and apply sustainable standards including ASC and GlobalGAP, towards sustainable production in order to improve the competitiveness of the Tra fish industry on the world market.
