As of September, foreign markets had high demand for pangasius to meet rising consumption in Noel and New Year’s holidays.

The plant brought back profits of VND7.07 billion in May, VND5 billion in June and VND16.8 billion in July. Minh Phu Seafood strived to boost production capacity by 50 percent since August and by 70 percent by the end of 2012 in order to reach profit of VND20 – 30 billion per month.
