    From SeafoodNews on August 26, the average production capacity of seafood processing plants in the Mekong Delta in Vietnam has dropped by 40%-50% compared to before.
    It is expected that the total output of the entire region will be reduced to 30%-40%
    .
     
    The outbreak of the epidemic has caused the previous supply capacity of fishery raw materials for processing and export to only reach about 40%-50% compared with external raw materials
    .
    It is expected that in the last few months of this year, there will be a 20%-30% shortage of feed and imported resources
    .

     
    The Vietnam Seafood Exporters and Producers Association (VASEP) stated that when the new crown epidemic broke out in Ho Chi Minh City and spread to the Mekong Delta, the aquaculture industry, processing plant raw material distribution and processing plant operations faced difficulties
    .
    The future will not only affect the production and supply chain of catfish , but also affect raw material prices and export earnings
    .

     
    Due to the epidemic, factories that are allowed to operate can only retain 30%-50% of their manpower, while the rest have unpaid leave or are forced to resign, resulting in a 40%-50% drop in production capacity
    .
    Catfish farmers and exporters are very worried that the price of raw materials will fluctuate significantly due to the preventive measures taken by the epidemic, which will affect exports
    .

     
    According to the Vietnam Seafood Exporters and Producers Association (VASEP), there are about 120 catfish processing plants in the Mekong Delta, with a breeding area of ​​nearly 3,000 hectares
    .
    In the first half of this year, the price of raw materials has increased by 3-4 times, the price of essential products for processing plants has also increased by 5%-25%, the cost of aquaculture feed has increased by 15%-20%, and the price of ocean freight has also increased by 5-7 times
    .

     
    A report submitted by the Vietnam Seafood Export and Producers Association (VASEP) to the Prime Minister and the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs recommended that workers in processing plants that implement the “3 on-the-spot” model should be vaccinated with the new crown vaccine as a priority to ensure workers’ production and safety.
    Employment includes farmers, fishermen, marine development and raw material production
