Seafood processing and exporting enterprises come into 2009 operation with full of difficulties such as narrowed consumption markets, sharply decreased selling prices, oversea buyer’s limited payment possibility….. partially resulting in farmers’ insecureness in aquaculturing to produce raw material for processing due to unstable prices, high risk of loss that makes difficulties heaped up with difficulties.   

In the first month of year 2009, FMC faces difficulties in collecting raw material due to off-season of shrimp harvest. In the same time, operation duration in Jan’09 was limited due to Lunar New Year holidays. Thus, shrimp output in Jan’09 just reached 341 tons equal to 88.6% from that of same period of 2008. Export turnover reaches USD 2.47 million equal to 64.3% from that of same period of 2008.
