In the opinion of Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, tra fish consumption markets have been increased and the linkage between the breeders and enterprises are more closer. However the export prices have kept declining. Thus, the Minister required higher productivity in tra fish production by improving the quality of products. Some solutions including supporting breeders towards Global GAP, supporting enterprises set up tra fish floor prices when entering some main markets with a view to protect the product prestige and to ensure the best profit.
