VASEP wants sustainable shrimp farming and export VASEP has proposed some solutions to sustainable growth of shrimp farming and export - PHOTO: TRUNG CHANH HCMC – The Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP) has proposed some solutions to sustainable growth of shrimp farming and export, Nguoi Lao Dong newspaper reports.
