Russian inspectors happy with seafood quality: official

VietNamNet Bridge – Russian food safety inspectors have shown satisfaction at Vietnamese fish processors' efforts to improve hygiene and safety standards, making it easier for local firms to send shipments to Russia, an official said.
Russia's Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance highly evaluated Vietnam's fishery industry after completing a ten-day inspection at 19 processors in the Mekong Delta, said Nguyen Tu Cuong, head of the National Fisheries Quality Assurance and Veterinary Directorate Department (Nafiquaved).
Cuong said that Russian inspectors highly appreciated fisheries breeding procedures, water treatment in fisheries ponds and the high quality control procedures of Ben Tre Province's aquatic farming.
"The inspectors are basically satisfied about local fishery hygiene and safety quality control, recognizing that Vietnam has strictly responded to their warning in May this year," he said.
Cuong noted that Nafiquaved and the Russian agency would sign a deal soon to pave the way for Vietnam's fisheries to return to Russia, particularly for catfish.
The Russian Government banned seafood products from many foreign countries since April 25 this year, including Vietnam, citing shipments from the countries failed to meet Russia's hygiene quality standards.
Prior to the ban, Vietnam's fisheries processors were highly successful in penetrating Russia's seafood market, as shipments there increased by 16 times in the past three years. Exports to Russia accounted for 11.2% of Vietnam's total fish exports, generating total revenue of US$661mil.
However, due to Russia's import ban, Vietnam's seafood products sent to Russia in the first five months of this year increased by only 2% compared to the same period of last year.
In related news, the ministries of Trade and Finance have recently sent a document requesting the Government to spend VND50bil to purchase equipment for testing amino oxazolidinone that is prohibited in seafood products shipped to Japan.
Nafiquaved will this Wednesday announce the names of 56 enterprises who are exempted from hygiene examination when shipping seafood to Japan as their products have been claimed clean for many consecutive shipments since early June.
