The series of specialised conferences will focus on antimicrobial resistance (AMR), swine, ruminants and dairy, waste-to-value, animal health and welfare, the egg value chain, livestock emissions control and many other topics.Việt Nam’s livestock sector is facing a growing threat from AMR, mainly caused by the misuse and overuse of antibiotics. In response to this challenge, the Antimicrobial Resistance Forum will be held for the first time at this year's expo. Led by top industry experts, the forum will provide valuable practical insights and actionable strategies aligned with international efforts to combat the issue.According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, the livestock industry has made remarkable strides amid technological advancement and international integration, accounting for more than one-quarter of Việt Nam’s agricultural sector. This year, the sector has set a specific growth target of 5.7 per cent to 5.98 per cent.In the first half of 2025, Việt Nam’s livestock industry recorded stable growth, putting itself in a good position to continue expanding in the final months of the year. The industry has rebounded rapidly as animal diseases came under control. The swine herd grew by 3.8 per cent to around 29.5 million heads, while the poultry population rose by 4 per cent to over 600 million.Strong market prices for livestock and poultry have enabled farmers to reinvest and improve herd quality. In contrast, the buffalo herd declined by 3.4 per cent and the cattle herd by 0.6 per cent, reflecting a structural shift toward higher-value livestock.Beyond meeting domestic demand, the country’s livestock products are also exported, with export value reaching US$264.4 million in the first half of 2025, up 10.1 per cent year-on-year.Along with these positive developments, Việt Nam’s livestock sector still faces some challenges, including small-scale and fragmented production with limited added value, heavy dependence on imported feed materials and adverse impacts from climate change. — VNS

The market remains fragmented, with the top 10 largest companies accounting for only about 30 per cent of the market share.FDI companies often have advantages due to large capital, modern technology, automated production&nbsp;and participation in the global supply chain.Meanwhile, most domestic companies operate at medium and small scales, with limited capital and semi-automated production lines, primarily serving the domestic market.One of the key growth drivers for the paper packaging industry is the boom in e-commerce. FiinGroup's report forecasts that the size of Việt Nam's e-commerce market will reach US$60 billion by 2030, leading to a massive demand for corrugated cartons used for shipping.Additionally, the F&amp;B sector, with its rapid expansion of retail chains and food delivery services, is also driving up the demand for paper packaging.Pharmaceuticals represent another promising sector, with spending expected to increase by 47 per cent from 2021 to 2027, requiring packaging that meets safety standards and clear printing.At the same time, textiles and electronics, key export industries, are expected to continue their recovery starting in mid-2024, further strengthening the demand for paper packaging for logistics purposes.FiinGroup evaluates the growth prospects for Việt Nam's&nbsp;packaging paper industry as very promising. The fragmentation of the market not only creates competitive pressure but also opens up opportunities for investors to enter through M&amp;A or capacity expansion. —&nbsp;VNS

The first phase, from now until mid-2026, will test the two-part pricing with industrial customers engaged in direct power purchase agreements (DPPA) with renewable energy producers and large electricity users in production and business.In the second phase, from January to June 2026, authorities will issue parallel invoices without requiring payment to all pilot participants and provide guidance on the new pricing system.From July 2026 to July 2027, the system will be tested in practice to monitor demand changes, customer behaviour, and electricity sales revenue, and to study necessary adjustments to the tariff structure.The ministry will study expanding the two-part tariff to more customer groups from August 2027.Vietnam Electricity (EVN) will be responsible for proposing the pricing and submitting it to the ministry for implementation following the roadmap.At a conference on Monday, EVN General Director Nguyễn Anh Tuấn said the pilot should first be implemented for large customers who use at least 200,000 kWh per month and are connected at 22kV or higher. There will be around 7,000 such enterprises, who are also subject to DPPA. Residential customers will not be included at this stage due to the requirement to invest in new metering systems.In the initial phase, the mechanism will apply to large users without exception. Later, peak and off-peak pricing will ensure greater fairness, Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyễn Hồng Diên said.Most countries have already applied a two-part electricity tariff to encourage efficient energy use while easing the pressure to invest in new generation capacity and grid expansion.Nguyễn Huy Hoạch from the Institute of Energy said the mechanism will ensure fairness for industrial and commercial users.Energy expert Ngô Đức Lâm said two-part pricing is necessary to implement DPPA and move towards a competitive electricity market. — VNS

A two-part electricity tariff is&nbsp;a billing system where the total charge to a consumer is split into two distinct components, including a fixed fee for registered capacity and a variable charge based on the actual amount of energy consumed.&nbsp;

Photo vneconomy.vn</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>HÀ NỘI — Việt Nam is reaping the rewards of fiscal prudence, with public debt figures falling sharply over the past five years, offering breathing room for the State budget and signalling improved financial security.According to a newly released report from the Ministry of Finance, the country’s public debt has dropped from 55.9 per cent of GDP in 2020 to just 34 per cent in 2024 — well below the statutory ceiling.The national public debt report for the 2020–24 period reveals that government debt accounted for 31.8 per cent of GDP in 2024, a significant reduction from 49.9 per cent in 2020.Government-guaranteed debt declined to 2.2 per cent, while local government debt held steady at approximately 0.6 per cent of GDP.The Ministry of Finance attributed this shift to tighter fiscal discipline and improved debt management by the State. Beyond the overall reduction, the report noted a clear slowing in public debt growth, laying a more stable foundation for budgetary balance.External borrowing has also been curbed. The country’s foreign debt-to-GDP ratio dropped from 47.9 per cent in 2020 to 27.9 per cent in 2024, further reducing reliance on overseas loans and enhancing national financial security.The pressure of debt servicing has eased as well.The Government’s debt repayment obligations fell from 21.2 per cent of State budget revenue in 2020 to 18.9 per cent in 2024. This ratio is considered a key indicator of repayment pressure, and maintaining a low and downward trend is seen as vital for long-term fiscal sustainability.However, the report also noted that the country's foreign debt repayment obligation compared to the export turnover of goods and services recorded an increasing trend from 5.7 per cent in 2020 to 7.8 per cent in 2024.Although this increase has not created much pressure, it reflects the fact that Việt Nam needs to continue to promote exports and maintain a stable trade balance to ensure room for debt repayment in the long term. — BIZHUB/VNS

Việt Nam's public debt ratio has nearly halved over the past five years, from 55.9 per cent of GDP in 2020 to 34 per cent in 2024, far from the prescribed cap.

In this journey, he affirmed, the Mekong Delta will play an indispensable role in the nation’s sustainable development strategy, particularly in the context of climate change adaptation.He welcomed alignment between Việt Nam’s development goals and Japanese initiatives such as the Asia Energy Transition Initiative (AETI) and the Asia Zero Emissions Community (AZEC), noting that these frameworks could find strong partnerships within the Mekong Delta, especially in renewable energy and environmental protection projects.The top legislator stressed that the NA and Government are committed to placing people at the centre of national progress, and will not trade off social equity or inclusive development for short-term economic growth.He also expressed strong confidence that ongoing institutional reforms, including administrative streamlining, governance efficiency, anti-corruption measures, and comprehensive public sector reform, will provide a favourable environment for foreign investment, particularly from Japanese enterprises looking to expand in Việt Nam and the Mekong Delta.He called for Japanese businesses to take an active role in building sustainable value chains, thereby contributing to the shared prosperity of both nations.Secretary of the Party Committee of Cần Thơ Đỗ Thanh Bình said that the new city was officially established from July 1, merging the former Cần Thơ with the former provinces of Hậu Giang and Sóc Trăng. This restructuring marks a transformative step in the development trajectory of the Mekong Delta, solidifying Cần Thơ’s role as a dynamic growth pole in the Southwest subregion, he said.He underlined that Cần Thơ is ready for a new era of growth - more efficient, more transparent, and more deeply committed to working alongside investors and enterprises.Meanwhile, Chairwoman of the Japan-Việt Nam Parliamentary Friendship Alliance Obuchi Yuko commended Việt Nam’s impressive economic performance, which continues to outpace its peers in ASEAN and affirms its growing importance in global supply chains. She noted that the two countries celebrated the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations in 2023, and that the Vietnamese community in Japan continues to grow in both size and influence.Obuchi Yuko also highlighted the success of recent cultural exchanges, particularly the Việt Nam Festival in Tokyo, which drew over 140,000 attendees and brought the vibrancy of Vietnamese culture to the Japanese public in a lively and engaging manner. She added that the ongoing Expo 2025 in Osaka–Kansai, attracting around 10,000 visitors each day, reflects a strong and growing public interest in the cultures of both countries.As head of the parliamentary friendship alliance, she pledged to continue fostering deeper ties between lawmakers in both nations, with the aim of elevating the Việt Nam–Japan partnership to a new level.Throughout the conference, leaders from provinces and cities across the Mekong Delta, along with representatives from Japanese and Vietnamese businesses and investment groups, engaged in discussions on the development potential of localities and identified practical pathways to enhance future collaboration. — VNA/VNS

In the afternoon, the market rebounded into positive territory, though the gains were modest as leading stocks gradually lost momentum.At the close on Friday, the VN-Index finished at 1,584.95 points, up 3.14 points, or 0.2 per cent.Market breadth was slightly positive with 177 gainers and 155 decliners. Liquidity rose 11.3 per cent from the previous session to VNĐ49.1 trillion (approximately US$1.87 billion).Meanwhile, the VN30-Index dropped 5.77 points, or 0.33 per cent, to 1,729.08 points. Within the VN30 basket, there were 18 decliners, 11 gainers and one stock that ended flat.Vingroup shares rose 1.7 per cent and VPBank gained 2.1 per cent, despite both experiencing mild corrections during the session. Since the beginning of August, VIC and VPB have accumulated gains of 11 per cent and 15 per cent respectively, with some sessions hitting the ceiling.Aside from these two large-cap stocks, the blue-chip group saw rather negative movements. The market’s focus continued to shift towards mid-cap stocks. All 15 stocks that hit their ceiling prices on HoSE today were outside the VN30 basket, with notable names including PDR, CII, PVD, HAG and GEE. Cash flow continued to seek stocks with specific growth stories rather than concentrating solely on leading groups.Foreign investors increased their net selling to about VNĐ834 billion, offloading large amounts of BID, SSI, HPG, FPT and VCB. On the other hand, they net bought more than VNĐ100 billion worth of VPB, GEX, CII, DCM and CEO.After a sharp correction last week, the market has posted consecutive gains throughout this week. However, intraday volatility remained present. Liquidity continued to stay at high levels, indicating that cash flow remained active.According to Vietcombank Securities (VCBS), the market continued to show momentum to move towards higher points during the week. Although stock groups have shown signs of divergence, the active rotation of capital has allowed the VN-Index to maintain its points and gradually consolidate support levels.With the current trend, VCBS recommended that investors realise partial profits on stocks experiencing strong supply at high price zones.At the same time, investors may select stocks entering an uptrend from long-term accumulation zones, or those showing signs of successfully testing support after a correction, to open positions when the VN-Index sees volatility next week. — VNS

Furthermore, the integration of AI has enabled marketers to lower costs by 15 per cent, with production times reduced by at least 30 per cent.Đoàn&nbsp;Xuân Lập, product&nbsp;manager&nbsp;of Printerval, highlighted a company's&nbsp;successful marketing campaign that benefited from AI-powered solutions.&nbsp;The campaign led to a threefold increase in brand searches, while immediate sales during the season saw a significant 7 per&nbsp;cent surge. Additionally, brand awareness spiked by an impressive 23 per&nbsp;cent.A representative&nbsp;of Shopee Vietnam&nbsp;at the event shared her company’s success story, emphasising how&nbsp;an&nbsp;AI-powered marketing&nbsp;solution&nbsp;contributed to a 23 per cent reduction in cost-per-order, along with a remarkable 49 per&nbsp;cent increase in return on investment compared to conventional campaigns.Việt Nam's digital economy is poised to achieve a gross merchandise value of up to US$200 billion by 2030, and&nbsp;2025 marks a pivotal time for companies to optimise growth through AI-powered marketing strategies, the experts stressed at the event.AI-powered marketing has gained widespread adoption across various sectors in Việt&nbsp;Nam.&nbsp;For example, Google announced at the event that Google Search, with over two&nbsp;billion users and five&nbsp;trillion annual global searches, continues to be instrumental in connecting users with information. Features like AI Overviews, now accessible to over two&nbsp;billion users, offer concise answers to complex queries directly within Google Search results.&nbsp;Additionally, AI-powered Search tools such as Google Lens, Circle to Search, and AI Mode on Search are expanding how users explore information.Rolling out in Việt&nbsp;Nam&nbsp;later this year, YouTube Creator Partnership Hub, a new tool in Google Ads, will make it easier than ever for brands to discover and collaborate with YouTube creators.&nbsp;YouTube, as the top video platform in Southeast Asia, maintains its leading position in Việt&nbsp;Nam.&nbsp;With over 55 million users aged 18+ reached in May 2025, YouTube garners more than 90 per cent of the nation's online population. YouTube Shorts, the most utilised short-form video platform in Việt&nbsp;Nam, records over 200 billion average daily views globally, with a high engagement rate among Vietnamese users.Moreover, the YouTube Shopping affiliate programme, introduced in late 2024, enables viewers to make direct purchases from videos, Shorts, and live streams, transforming YouTube into a dynamic shopping destination and creating new revenue streams for creators and businesses alike.A significant step for Vietnamese businesses is the upcoming pilot launch of Google’s Click-to-Zalo feature.&nbsp;Recognising that 77&nbsp;per cent&nbsp;of consumers are more likely to purchase if they can chat directly with a business, Google has partnered with Zalo,&nbsp;Việt Nam's leading messaging platform, to uncover new ways for consumers to reach businesses more efficiently.&nbsp;The initiative allows customers searching on Google to instantly connect with a merchant's official Zalo&nbsp;account, fostering personalised conversations and driving conversions. The pilot programme is currently open to a small set of pre-selected businesses. — BIZHUB/VNS

Accordingly, investment funds are allowed to pre-negotiate the right to purchase new shares in the next rounds of capital calls of start-ups. This not only creates flexibility in the investment structure, but also helps funds maintain their position and benefits in the next stages of business development.The decree also states specific regulations to standardise the organisational and operational model of innovative start-up investment funds.First, in terms of scale, each innovative start-up investment fund can include from two to a maximum of 30 investors contributing capital, and has no legal entity. This is a flexible model, suitable for the small scale and experimental nature of many venture capital funds in the early stages.Second, in terms of the investment ratio cap, the total capital a fund is allowed to invest in a start-up must not exceed 50 per cent of the start-up's charter capital after receiving investment. This regulation aims to restrict the fully dominance of investors and encourage start-ups to seek more diverse sources of capital.Third, cross-investment is prohibited. The decree strictly prohibits innovative start-up investment funds from contributing capital to another innovative start-up investment fund. This is a measure to avoid financial risks, avoid capital spirals and increase transparency in investment activities.As for operation, creative start-up investment funds are allowed to invest in innovative start-up SMEs; use convertible investment instruments; own the right to purchase shares in start-ups; and use idle capital to make term deposits or buy deposit certificates at banks approved by competent authorities.However, the funds are not allowed to lend commercially or guarantee loans; invest in listed securities, bonds, fund certificates on the stock market; or make profit commitments when raising capital from investors. These limits are put in place to protect the nature of venture capital as supporting innovation, rather than operating for financial profit or speculation.&nbsp;— BIZHUB/VNS

These include AI training for 55,000 government officials in the UAE, the Green Light initiative in Bangkok that uses Google Maps data to optimise traffic flow and a personalised AI education programme currently active in over 100 schools in Thailand.Beyond deployment, Google also works with governments worldwide to develop regulatory frameworks for emerging technologies like AI and cloud computing.In Việt Nam, Google has already launched foundational AI training for local businesses and the general public. Plans are underway to expand this with scholarships and academic exchange programmes for Vietnamese scientists.Deputy Minister Long emphasised that science, technology and innovation are central to Việt Nam’s goal of becoming a high-income, developed nation by 2045. In the past six months, the MoST has submitted major legislative revisions to the National Assembly, including the newly passed Law on the Digital Technology Industry and amendments to key sector-related laws covering standards, product quality and atomic energy. A draft Law on Digital Transformation is also in the works for submission later this year.Along with these legal reforms, Việt Nam is pioneering the use of regulatory sandboxes, flexible legal frameworks that empower ministries and local governments to test and implement innovative solutions. This reflects a directive from the General Secretary that institutional reform must become a pillar of national competitiveness.As part of the country’s National AI Strategy, Việt Nam aims to bring AI knowledge and skills to all segments of society — not only Government officials, but also regular citizens and businesses. The Deputy Minister proposed that Google support this effort through expanded AI training programmes and the potential implementation of technologies like Green Light to address urban traffic congestion.“Without AI, there can be no digital transformation,” Long said. “And truly innovative enterprises will be the engine of Việt Nam’s economic growth in the years ahead.”The meeting concluded with a shared commitment to form a working group that will translate shared goals into concrete action, aligned with both sides’ long-term visions. This partnership marks a significant step toward building a resilient, future-ready digital economy rooted in innovation and sustainable progress. —VNS

The event focused on unlocking the export potential of passion fruit, banana, pineapple, and coconut.According to the ministry, Việt Nam currently cultivates more than 50 fruit varieties across over 1.3 million hectares of farmland. However, only durian has surpassed the US$1 billion export milestone,reaching $2.3 billion in 2023 and $3.3 billion in 2024.Dragon fruit, which once crossed that threshold, fell to just $534 million last year.Deputy Minister Trần Thanh Nam noted that passion fruit, banana, pineapple, and coconut are expected to become the country’s next strategic export items. These fruits not only have substantial production capacity but also align with global consumption trends and increasingly strict import requirements.Together, these four fruit crops cover over 420,000 hectares and yield more than 6.3 million tonnes annually. Vietnamese bananas alone are grown on 161,000 hectares, generating nearly $380 million in exports in 2024 and placing Việt Nam among the world's top nine banana exporters. Vietnamese bananas are now available in key markets such as China, Japan, South Korea, Australia, the EU, and the US.Pineapples are cultivated on over 52,000 hectares, coconuts on nearly 202,000 hectares, and passion fruit on over 12,000 hectares. All of which are expanding in both scale and deep-processing capacity, he said.Despite these advantages, Nam warned that the sector still faces major obstacles: lack of high-quality, disease-resistant varieties; underdeveloped raw material zones; fragmented supply chains; low processing capacity; lack of national branding; and market volatility.Without proactive restructuring, he said, Việt Nam risks falling behind regional competitors.&nbsp;<figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td><figure class="image"><img src="https://image.vietnamnews.vn/uploadvnnews/Article/2025/7/18/437882_discussion.jpg" alt=""></figure></td></tr><tr><td>Panelists at the forum discuss the vast export potential of passion fruit, pineapple, coconut, and banana. — Photo Nguyễn Thủy</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>Đặng Phúc Nguyên, general secretary of the Vietnam Fruit and Vegetable Association, highlighted the global potential of pineapples. He noted that the global market is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 6.3 per cent, underscoring vast export opportunities.Nguyên said Vietnamese pineapples are highly competitive, with products like DOVECO’s concentrated juice exported to more than 50 countries at premium prices.In some cases, Vietnamese products have even outperformed those from the US and Europe, strengthening Việt Nam’s global reputation.“To reach billion-dollar export status, the pineapple industry needs a clear and systematic strategy,” Nguyên said. “This includes expanding raw material areas, improving varieties, investing in irrigation, and applying advanced technologies to enhance yield and quality. Government support is also critical.”Ngô Quốc Tuấn, deputy director of the Post-Import Plant Quarantine Center II, reaffirmed the strong export potential of these four fruits but warned of increasingly strict phytosanitary and traceability requirements from import markets.He urged producers to shift their focus from volume to quality, emphasising the need to adopt advanced technologies, build traceability systems, and strengthen value chains.Nguyễn Như Cường, deputy director of the ministry’s Department of Science and Technology, added that Việt Nam must diversify export markets, enhance post-harvest technologies such as irradiation and hot steam treatment, and strictly manage planting area codes to meet global standards and build buyer confidence.In the coconut sector, Nguyễn Thị Kim Thanh, chairwoman of the Vietnam Coconut Association, said to ensure sustainable development, the coconut industry needs a stable supply of raw materials in both quality and quantity.She stressed the need for close coordination between the ministry, research institutes, and universities to develop solutions that enhance productivity and modernise production.“Coconut can be processed in combination with other fruits such as banana and pineapple to diversify product offerings and increase the value of Vietnamese fruit exports,” she noted.Deputy Minister Nam concluded that boosting the competitiveness of Việt Nam’s fruit industry requires a comprehensive restructuring of the value chain, moving toward a greener and more modern agriculture.Key priorities include planning and developing raw material zones, linking with processing and distribution businesses, applying cost-saving technologies, modernising logistics and processing, building national brands, and expanding formal export channels.He stressed that accelerating market access negotiations for passion fruit, banana, pineapple, and coconut will be essential to reducing overreliance on traditional markets and diversifying export destinations. — VNS

This shift towards competing on value rather than price was highlighted by the experts.Nguyễn&nbsp;Minh Tiến, director of the Trade Promotion Centre for Agriculture and Environment, emphasised at the summit that in the current context of global green transformation and digitalisation, Việt&nbsp;Nam should not&nbsp;continue producing cheap, low-cost goods as before.&nbsp;Tiến stressed the significant role of technology platforms, especially social networks, in connecting Vietnamese agricultural products with consumers.&nbsp;He illustrated this point by explaining how social networks enable storytelling for individual products like mangoes, meat, and fish sauce, offering more insight into their origins.He further proposed that in the current two-tier governmental structure, with 3,300 wards in the country, establishing e-commerce channels for each commune to showcase and narrate stories about local agricultural products. could create a lasting and impactful effect.Nguyễn Lâm Thanh, representing TikTok Vietnam, suggested a collaboration initiative at the summit to implement the "Green - Clean - Digital" programme, aimed at supporting the 3,300 wards in Việt&nbsp;Nam&nbsp;to promote and sell agricultural goods on e-commerce platforms.Another topic discussed at the summit was the quality control of livestreaming in e-commerce, emphasising the need for strict supervision in such activities.Nguyễn&nbsp;Hữu Tuấn, director of the Centre for E-commerce and Digital Technology Development (eComDX), shared that the draft amended E-commerce Law is being finalised to tighten regulations on online sales activities, particularly livestreaming.Key Opinion Leaders (KOL) and Key Opinion Consumers (KOC) – influencers on social media – are required to undergo legal training in e-commerce and obtain certification to livestream the sale of products, with the aim of fostering professionalism, transparency, and accountability in the digital commerce landscape.Presently, livestreaming activities lack control and pose risks to consumers. The new law aims to establish a framework that ensures KOLs and sellers meet clearer responsibilities, particularly regarding product information and origins,&nbsp;emphasised Tuấn.A notable aspect of the law is the shared responsibility of e-commerce platforms. Upon detecting any violations, platforms are required to promptly remove the products within 24 hours. Failure to comply will result in penalties being enforced.The draft law is being developed in tandem with a complementary directive and is anticipated to be effective from January 1, 2026.&nbsp;The Ministry of Industry and Trade has outlined communication and training programmes, both online and offline, for sellers, KOLs, and digital marketing teams, to help them better comprehend and conduct their professions in a more professional and responsible manner within the digital economy era.During the summit, TikTok Shop unveiled impressive growth figures for 2024, reinforcing its dedication to long-term investments to&nbsp;constructing a sustainable and trusted e-commerce environment in Việt&nbsp;Nam.By the end of 2024, the entire platform had recorded a growth rate 1.8 times higher than that of 2023. The growth was mainly driven by key components such as the TikTok Shop Mall, affiliate marketing, live streams, short videos, Shop Tab, and the influx of new customers, thereby creating extensive market opportunities for sellers.&nbsp;Particularly noteworthy was the participation of nearly 2,400 authentic brands and distributors, leading to the TikTok Shop Mall system achieving close to&nbsp;threefold growth compared to 2023. In the first half of 2025, this growth trend continued, with over 1,600 new official sellers joining the platform.&nbsp;— VNS

In return, Việt Nam requested Brazil to reciprocally open markets for its shrimp and tra and basa fish.Besides, the two countries should enhance collaboration in the area of ethanol production where Brazil has considerable experience. Moreover, as Việt Nam undergoes a strong energy transition, cooperation opportunities in this field are substantial in the coming period.The Brazilian officials, for their parts, underscored that energy cooperation and economic – trade ties are among the areas both countries need to focus on, stating Brazilian enterprises are ready to explore opportunities and cooperate with Vietnamese partners in this fields.President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva lifted the ban on tilapia imports and opened market to certain types of Vietnamese shrimp, aligning with international standards, an official said, adding Brazil will carry out technical assessments for Vietnamese tra and basa fish.&nbsp;— VNS
