analyze and evaluate the current situation of NCBTS development in Tra Vinh province, pointing out the successes, limitations and causes; identify and analyze factors affecting the development of CNCBTS in Tra Vinh province; and propose policy implications to promote the development of CNCBTS in Tra Vinh province Research subject and scope Theoretical issues related to the development of the seafood processing industry and research on practical issues related to the development of CNCBTS in Tra Vinh province These are the contents of industry development (scale growth, production restructuring, production linkages, socio-economic efficiency and environmental protection) and factors affecting development: raw material sourcing, consumer markets, supporting services and associations, industry competition and government policies) In which, CNCBTS is determined from the preliminary processing stage to finished product processing and consumption Research overview Currently, foreign researches focus on assessing trends in product consumption, food motives, model of product consumption especially seafood, the environmental impact on seafood supply chains, and competitiveness of business in the market In Vietnam, researches have contributed theoretical issues about sustainable industrial development with high technology However, previous researches still have limitations in combination among all three aspects: theoretical research, practical analysis and systematic solutions to contribute to the development of the industry in a particular locality New points of the dissertation Proposing main policy implications for the development of the advanced technology industry in Tra Vinh Following: (1) Increasing the scale of the number of key products and increasing the scale of capital to expand production, leading to increased processing results, (2) Shifting to production methods from traditional to present That to change the structure of processed products to meet the needs and tastes of consumers; developing consumer markets, (3) Expanding links and cooperation between input agents, processing and processing with output agents, (4) Improving socio-economic efficiency, improving accountability responsibilities of factories on environmental protection, and (5) Strengthening management and support from government and associations Dissertation sections This dissertation includes four chapters Chapter 1: Theoretical basis for the development of the seafood processing industry Chapter 2: Characteristics of research region and research methods Chapter 3: Current status of the development of seafood processing industry in Tra Vinh province Chapter 4: The implications of developing the seafood processing industry in Tra Vinh province CHAPTER THEORETICAL BASIS OF INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT SEAFOOD PROCESSING 1.1 General issues about the development of the seafood processing industry 1.1.1 An overview of the seafood processing industry The seafood processing industry is an industry including all businesses, companies, and establishments licensed to operate in the field of seafood processing industry; uses the main ingredients from the fisheries and aquaculture products to process a variety of products in certain environmental conditions, facilities and quality standards to meet the needs of the consumer market Industry characteristics: (1) The commodity structure is very diverse; (2) Products of seafood processing industry are easy to spoil and rot; (3) Consume a lot of water and emit a lot of organic matter; (4) The processing technology depends on raw materials 1.1.2 Definitions Developing production processing technology is to expand production capacity, restructure in processing, in accordance with the needs of society, and at the same time strengthen production linkage as a basis for expanding output, increasing socio-economic efficiency and environmental protection 1.1.3 The role of seafood processing industry development Firstly, it shows important implications for the growth rate of the whole economy, contributing to increasing the GRDP value in the region Secondly, create more jobs for local workers; providing livelihood security for fishing agents, farmers, traders Thirdly, to regulate the structure and stabilize food prices in the country Fourthly, create growth for developing other areas such as mining, farming and logistics in the industry 1.2 Theories related to industrial development 1.2.1 Classic growth theory (David Ricardo's classical economic growth model) As mentioned: (1) Industry and agriculture are two important economic sectors, with close relationship and interaction in the economic structure Agriculture can only develop rapidly and efficiently if industry develop; (2) Foreign trade plays an important role, through foreign trade activities in the forms of joint ventures, links and economic exchanges to promote economic growth 1.2.2 Neoclassical growth theory (Cobb-Douglas production function) In macroeconomics, the Cobb-Douglas production function: denotes the value of gross domestic product in an economy, industry or region, and factors of technology, capital money and labor 1.2.3 Neoclassical growth theory (Solow, Solow-Swan economic growth model) The Solow model refers to the factors affecting economic growth as investment changes capital stock and steady state Changes in the savings rate affect economic growth; The change or increase in population affects economic growth, and scientific progress affects economic growth The Solow-Swan model is proposed to explain longrun economic growth by studying the process of capital accumulation, labor or population growth, and the increase in productivity commonly referred to as industrial progress 1.2.4 Harry T Oshima two-zone model To invest in the development of agriculture-industry in a wide direction Particularly, continue to diversify production and carry out large-scale production to create a large volume of goods; to develop food processing industries to create jobs Continue to develop industry in the direction of replacing imported and export-oriented products with a gradual shift in the production structure of labor-intensive products to technology-intensive products 1.2.5 Other development theories Development theory according to the flying crane model by Kaname Akamatsu (1962) Marshall Principles of Economics (1890) Quality of growth by Lucas (1995) Quality of development by Thomas (2000) 1.3 Evaluate criteria the development of the seafood processing industry The content of development of the advanced processing technology-oriented with a combination of width and depth to focus on solving fundamental problems such as (1) Growth in scale, (2) Shifting production structure, (3) Link in processing, (4) Improve socioeconomic efficiency and protect the environment 1.3.1 Growth in the scale of the seafood processing industry The scale growth of the seafood processing industry is the increase in the value (output) of seafood in a given period of time, the result of all production, processing and consumption full activity created Criteria reflecting scale growth such as an increase in the number of processing facilities, an increase in the size of processing facilities and an increase in processing results (industrial value) 1.3.2 Restructuring in seafood processing Restructuring in the seafood processing industry is a set of structural changes in production and trade that are considered necessary to continue to develop the industry through content such as product restructuring, product method transformation export and market structure change The evaluation criteria: (1) The proportion of processed seafood and the change in the proportion of processed seafood, (2) The proportion of processed seafood by production modes and the change in the proportion of processed seafood by production methods, (3) the proportion of product consumed in markets and the change in the proportion of product consumed in markets 1.3.3 Links in seafood processing In the scope of this study, the linkage between inputs and processing facilities (such as (1) farmers, fishermen ⬄ processing factories, (2) traders ⬄ processing factories, (3) owners ⬄ processing factories) and linkages between processing factories and consumers (such as (1) processing factories ⬄ supermarkets, agents, (2) processors ⬄ exporters, importers) Evaluation criteria: Number and proportion of processors that participate in association, types of association and degree of association 1.3.4 Improve socio-economic efficiency and environmental protection in seafood processing Criteria for evaluating economic efficiency: Labor productivity, capital productivity; Assessment of social efficiency: job creation, the average income of workers, the contribution of the seafood processing industry to the local export turnover; The environmental protection of the biosphere reserve is assessed through: waste treatment, exhaust gas and noise, the impact of waste, exhaust gas, and noise on surrounding people 1.4 Factors affecting the development of the seafood processing industry 1.4.1 Raw material supply Raw materials are the main input factor for the processing industry This factor is mentioned as the location, quantity, quality of raw materials, cost of purchasing and the stability of the supply of raw materials Hypothesis H1: The supply of raw materials has a positive impact on the development of the construction industry in Tra Vinh province 1.4.2 Consumption market The consumption market or output market is the market directly related to the consumption of CSCB's products The indicators mentioned are price, quality or variety of products, distribution channels, consumer tastes and the increase in domestic and export market share Hypothesis H2: The consumption market has a positive influence on the development of the construction industry in Tra Vinh province 1.4.3 Supporting services and associations Competitive advantage is derived from strong supporting industries and good infrastructure Attention should be paid to issues such as infrastructure systems, logistics services, trade promotion activities and Support for innovation in enterprises and support from the Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers Vietnam Hypothesis H3: Support services and associations have a positive influence on the development of the CBTS industry in Tra Vinh province 1.4.4 Competition inside seafood processing industry The CNCBTS industry will be greatly affected by the competition of enterprises in the same industry This competition can be affected by the number of CSCBs in the market, substitute products, the stability of the workforce involved in the processing, and logistics costs Hypothesis H4: Competition in the industry has a positive effect on the development of the CNCBTS industry 1.4.5 Policies of government The state (Government) has an important role in the economy State policies have an influence on the development of industries In which, there are a number of major policies that can affect the development of the CNCBTS industry such as supporting policies on administrative procedures, tax, finance, labor and policies on labelling of goods Hypothesis H5: State policies have a positive influence on the development of CNCBTS In summary, the model of factors affecting the development of CNCBTS is built based on the theory of competitive advantage (diamond model) and inherits previous studies with five factors: Supply Raw materials, Consumption market, Competition in the industry, Support services and Associations and Government policies directly affect the development of the industry CHAPTER REGION CHARACTERISTICS AND RESEARCH METHODS 2.1 Characteristics of natural, economic and social conditions of Tra Vinh province 2.1.1 Characteristics of natural conditions Tra Vinh is a coastal region in the Mekong Delta with an area of 2,358.3 km2, population of 1,049,809; it is a good condition for building an economic complex zone Coastal plain with 65 km long of the coast, it is suitable for port development and the arrangement of industrial and economic zones also has conditions for marine tourism development Tra Vinh has 7,918.7 of coastal water surface which can be exploited and cultivated However, it is inundation in the dry season In short, this is a region with strong economic advantages in the sea 2.1.2 Economic characteristics The scale of the province's economy is constantly expanding, with continuous GRDP growth, the main driving force is industryconstruction The growth of value added of sectors in the economy has prompted a rapid transformation of economic structure by sector 11 CHAPTER REAL SITUATION OF DEVELOPING SEAFOOD PROCESSING INDUSTRY IN TRA VINH PROVINCE 3.1 Current status of growth in scale of seafood processing industry in Tra Vinh province 3.1.1 The status of increasing the number of seafood processing establishments Processing facilities include enterprises and production and business establishments/individual economies engaged in the field of aquaculture from preliminary processing to export processing The number of establishments in the period 2014~2018 has an average increase of 1.12%, with constant fluctuations annually The main causes are natural disasters, epidemics and salinity which lead to unstable raw material prices In addition, difficulties in prices and consumption markets, lack of capital, and loss of business have caused most small-scale establishments to dissolve or stop operations On average, 2014~2018 period, the number of enterprises in professional staffing increased negative 8.07% while the whole country grew positively 0.12%; the number of individual economic establishments has increased but not much, by 2.05% 3.1.2 The situation of increasing the scale of seafood processing establishments Size of the budget: The industry has very little increase in size by capital in the 2014~2018 period Specifically, in 2016 and 2017, there were 04 establishments maintaining the capital scale from 50 billion to less than 200 billion Vietnam dong, by 2018 this number will decrease 3/4, because there are 02 additional facilities to increase capital, reaching from 200 billion to under 500 billion Vietnam dong The industry has 95.65% of establishments with limited financial capacity; The ability to find and access capital is difficult, so 45.45% of them can get a loan from banks Size of labor resource: an establishment with a large labor scale is many times less than an establishment with a very small scale Specifically, in 2018, less than people had 79.71% of establishments, 12 an increase of 10% compared to 2014, from 500~999 people with 01 facility The quality of the labor force has not met the requirements of production and business activities in the context of an integrated economy Specifically, for enterprises, the manager has a university degree but for individual economic households, instead of the length of time to management work Professional qualifications through training 13%, untrained accounts for 87% The scale of raw materials in the locality is not very large, accounting for more than 90% of the total output Aquatic raw materials including exploitation and commodity farming increased by 3.14% on average The ratio between total seafood processed products and total seafood materials is around 14.4% in 2014, then the ratio decrease by 5.45% in 2016 and to increase again in 2018, accounting for 6.3% 3.1.3 The status of increasing seafood processing results The production value of the seafood processing industry in the period 2014~2018 decreased by 0.87% due to a continuously decreasing trend from 2014 ~2016, only to increase again in 2018 at an increase of 25.1% compared to the previous year, higher than the rate of increase in the production value of the industry nationwide about 6.6% 3.2 Restructuring in seafood processing 3.2.1 The situation of restructuring of processed seafood products The structure of industrial products has shifted to the trend of replacing product groups according to market needs From 2014 to 2018, the group of frozen seafood products always ranked first with over 50% of the total structure, and in 2018 accounted for 80.6% Next, the proportion of canned seafood products tends to increase in the years 2012~2015 but then decreases after that, the results show that canned seafood products have shifted to frozen seafood products And chilled seafood products have been completely replaced by canned and frozen seafood products from 2016 The exported seafood products belong to the frozen seafood products group such as frozen shrimp, frozen fish and other frozen fish 13 The structure of these products has shifted from other frozen fish, frozen fish to frozen shrimp and brought frozen shrimp to the first position in the export product structure since 2016 3.2.2 Current situation of production organization The share of the value of production created by the traditional production method of the individual sector tends to decrease while the modern production method created by the corporate sector is the opposite Specifically, the traditional method created the production value, accounting for 6.02% in 2014 Although the number of establishments increased from 89.39% to 92.75%, in 2018 it only created 5.71% During the same period, the business sector generated 93.98% of the value and reached 94.29% in 2018, corresponding to the number of processing facilities that decreased from 10.61% to 7.25% 3.2.3 Current situation of market structure There has been a shift in the structure of the consumption market from the domestic market to the export market Specifically, in 2014, the export market accounted for 50.6% of the total processing output, by 2018 This market had consumed more than 75% of the total industrial output of the industry and the proportion of consumption of the private sector decreased correspondingly in the same period The structure of the export market has also changed Specifically, shifting from North America, Europe and other markets to Japan in 2014 Since 2016, seafood exports to Japan have decreased The structure of exports to Europe increased but to North America continued to decrease to 1.66% of the total processed seafood products export turnover in 2018 3.3 Current status of linkage in seafood processing Link model in seafood processing is built according to vertical integration 3.3.1 Links between inputs - processing facilities The industry is provided with seafood raw materials for processing from three actors including farmers, fishers and middistributors The processing establishments and these agents have links 14 and cooperation with each other, but between farmers, between fishermen or among mid-distributors there is no link with each other There is a link between input agents but not concentrated at the base (farmers, fishermen) Again, the study calculated the average score from the survey data set, resulting in: for the most closely coordinated, collaborative mid-distributors, with 3.59 points; The benefits processing facilities supply to this agent are only sharing information about price, demand on quantity, item, size; Links with fishermen are loose, momentary As for farmers, there is no association In fact, most of the architects in the province have not set up a system to buy raw materials directly from farmers and fishermen but mainly buy from the mid-distributors 3.3.2 Links between processing facilities - consumption Products are mainly provided through mid-distributors to consumers (100% of processing facilities) In which, 8.7% of processing facilities linked with exporters, 4.3% were linked with importers and had no processing facilities directly supply into supermarkets The linkage between processing facilities and middistributors is through verbal contracts but still fulfills commitments in terms of quantity, time as well as product quality assurance However, oral contract orders often fluctuate according to customer needs Linking with exporters and importers is done by paper contracts showing full volume, product standards, prices and delivery time; In recent years, orders have not been returned due to contract breach In general, the longitudinal linkages are still weak, but there is no link between the processing establishments to firmly consolidate their position, reduce costs, and increase profits for each facility 3.4 Current situation of socio-economic efficiency and environmental protection in seafood processing 3.4.1 Economic efficiency Labor productivity of Tra Vinh seafood processing industry in the period 2014~2018 increased by an average of 2.53% at constant prices in 2010 and increased by 4.93% at current prices while labour 15 productivity of the Vietnamese processing industry decreased by 2.72% In which, in 2018, the labour productivity of Tra Vinh staff in the industry increased very high, an increase of 28.01% compared to 2017 It can be shown that there was also an investment in equipment and technology processes, but only for enterprises Labour productivity increase is the driving force affecting the development of the industry and contributing to the economic growth of the province as well as improving the living standards of the people Capital productivity: The industry's budgetary productivity had a marked change in the period 2014~2018 Specifically, in 2014, Vietnam dong for production and business was used to create 3.22 VN dong of industrial production value, followed by 2015, capital productivity increased, the value generated from capital was 3.97 VN dong but in 2018, form dong only can create 2.32 dong Capital productivity of the handicraft industry decreased on average for the whole period (7.8%) 3.4.2 Social efficiency Job creation: in 2018, the industry has created 1,408 employees, an increase of 3.0% compared to 2017 The average income of an employee in general staff in general, and in particular seafood processing enterprises over the years is always higher from 2.0 to 2.2 times the per capita income of the province Contribution to export turnover: Seafood exports each year have contributed an amount of foreign currency fluctuating around (16~26) % of the total export value of the province 3.4.3 Environmental Protection In the province, 73.91% of establishments have not yet invested in industrial wastewater treatment systems; 50.78% of the assets have made environmental impact assessment reports; 15.22% of establishments apply Vietnam Standard; 15.22% of establishments apply cleaner production According to Vietnamese standards, there is no establishment assessed to have solid waste, liquid waste, noise, and emissions exceeding the permitted threshold 16 Solid waste, noise, odour and wastewater treatment of the industry is assessed through people living and trading around and around the processing facility In general, the treatment of solid waste, wastewater, odour and noise of the seafood processing industry in Tra Vinh has a negative impact on people's lives and activities 3.5 Analysis of factors affecting the development of seafood processing industry in Tra Vinh province 3.5.1 Results assess reliability of Cronbach's Alpha Cronbach's Alpha coefficient of most variables is greater than 0.7 and the total correlation coefficient of variables qs is greater than 0.3 Thus, the total scale has 29 variables qs, after evaluating the reliability of Cronbach's Alpha all variables are kept In which, there are 25 qs included in EFA analysis in group 1- independent factors and 04 qs analysis in group 2- dependent factors 3.5.2 Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) results The scale is adjusted after times to extract independent factors and dependent factor, each factor includes many observed variables The representative factors created are: X1- Material supply has 05 variables (IPNL1, IPNL2, IPNL3, IPNL4, IPNL5), X2Consumption market has 05 variables (OPTT1, OPTT2, OPTT3, OPTT4, OPTT5), X3- Support services and associations including 05 variables (DVHT1, DVHT2, DVHT3, DVHT4, DVHT5), X4Competition in the industry has variables (CTTN1, CTTN2, CTTN3, CTTN4) X5- State policies have 05 variables (CSNN1, CSNN2, CSNN3, CSNN4, CSNN5) Finally, “Development of seafood processing industry” code “Y” is a dependent variable consisting of 04 variables CBTS1, CBTS2, CBTS3, CBTS4 3.5.3 Multivariate regression analysis results The consideration of factors X1 to X5 affecting industry development will be done by multivariate regression equation: CBTS = β0 + β1IPNL + β2OPTT + β3DVHT + β4CTTN + β5CSNN + € 17 In which, CBTS: dependent variable; β0: regression constant; β1, β2, β3, β4, β5: regression coefficient; IPNL, OPTT, DV, TN, state policy: independent variables; €: residual F-test gives results on ANOVA table with Sig.= 0.000 < 0.05, regression model always exists with 95% confidence level The adjusted R2 value = 0.626 shows that 05 independent variables included in the regression analysis affect 62.6% of changes in the development of CNCBTS, the remaining 37.4% are due to variables outside the model and random error Thus, the proposed model is consistent with the actual data The VIF coefficients are all less than 10, so the regression model does not have multicollinearity Durbin–Watson (DW) value is 1.593, in the range of 1.5 to 2.5, so the regression model does not have autocorrelation Test the assumption that the variance of the residual is constant: the residual and the dependent variable have no relationship or there is no phenomenon of variance in the residual Statistical significance level Sig < 0.05: factors X1 (IPNL), X2 (OPTT), X4 (CTTN), and X5 (NNW) have a significant influence on the development of CNCBTS with 95% confidence, factor X3 (DVHT) alone has no statistical significance From the above analysis results, we have the regression model: CBTS = 0.182IPNL + 0.174OPTT + 0.306CTTN + 0.318CSNN+ 3.31E-13 3.5.4 Discuss the factors affecting the development of the seafood processing industry According to the regression results, it shows that there are factors that are positively related to the development of CNCBTS in Tra Vinh province, that is, accept the hypotheses of the study This is completely consistent with previous theories and research Specifically: hypothesis H1: Raw material supply (IPNL) has a positive impact on the development of the seafood processing industry in Tra Vinh province (CNTS) (Beta = 0.182), showing that if IPNL increases to 18 point, the development of CNCBTS will increase by 0.182 points Similarly, hypothesis H2: Consumer market (OPTT) positively affects CBTS (Beta= 0.174); H4: Competition in the industry has a positive impact on CBTS (Beta = 0.306), H5: State policies (State policy) have a positive impact on CBTS (Beta = 0.318) The results also show that the order of importance of the variables affecting the development of the CBTS industry is as follows: the highest is the state budget, followed by the NCTN, IPNL, and OPPT respectively Particularly for the factor of Support Services and Associations, although the regression results show that this factor is not statistically significant The reason may be that over time, support services and associations have not clearly shown their important and useful roles for businesses, processing facilities in particular and the industry in general At the same time, the survey is limited in number, so the model results show that this factor is not statistically significant, but in practice, it still has an impact on industry development The author believes that this is the above factor that should be taken into consideration when building industry development solutions because right from the beginning of model building, experts and people with deep expertise have also considered the characteristics of the industry to determine this is one of the factors that positively affect the development of Vietnam's CNCBTS industry in general and Tra Vinh province's CNCBTS in particular 3.6 Assessing the current status of seafood processing industry development in Tra Vinh province 3.6.1 Successes Creating the production value to contribute for increasing GRDP; job creation contributes to economic stability, political security in the region; The development of the seafood processing industry has created opportunities for households to develop their economy and improve their material lives Hence, contributing to hunger eradication and poverty reduction for local people; The sector has also created an initial 19 linkage and cooperation between farmers and fishermen in providing input materials with the factories 3.6.2 The limitations Firstly, the industry has a number of establishments participating in the field of primary care, mainly small-scale Never collected drawn investors' large-scale domestic and foreign Secondly, investment in technology in production is limited Thirdly, not really interested in building links with input factors; There is no connection with the supermarket system There is no horizontal link between the Mekong River Delta and the farming households Fourthly, infrastructure problems; high risk of environmental pollution 3.6.3 Cause of the limitations Firstly, fragmented processing, lack of capital, and limited level of corporate governance; the added value of the industry remains low Secondly, most of the processing factories lack the scale and resources to try to develop new products and markets; Traceability requirements become more stringent Thirdly, calculate the loose input linkage Fourthly, the capital for investment in infrastructure depends on the policy; Environmental work is still relaxed and formal CHAPTER THE IMPLICATIONS DEVELOPING THE PROCESSING INDUSTRY FISHERIES IN TRA VINH PROVINCE 4.1 The basis suggests the implications 4.1.1 Seafood consumption demand in some countries and domestic consumption Demand for seafood consumption of many countries in the world is endless, but internal production capacity can only partially meet, the rest is imported from other countries Consumption market in Vietnam is also very large, according to the FAO forecast, by 2030 the total consumption will reach about 3.81 million tons if the population of Vietnam reaches 104 million people 20 4.1.2 Opportunities and challenges for the development of seafood processing industry in Tra Vinh province Opportunities: Government has been focusing on promoting nonstate economic development, improving business environment; has a stable political regime, rapid economic growth; the policy of international economic integration continues to be asserted; There are fisheries processing and exporting association, and fisheries association supporting the industry Challenges: Technical and commercial barriers of seafood importing countries;

actively implementing policies to support credit, land belt, and taxes to attract investment Secondly, promoting investment promotion and trade promotion with businesses that want to invest in the field of seafood processing; innovating promotion activities in a focused direction to create pervasiveness Thirdly, to direct the implementation of institutional reforms, improve the investment environment; promote individual economic establishments to transform into enterprises; need to focus on encouraging and supporting the establishment of new businesses by starting a business Fourthly, to reorganize production to adequately and promptly supply quality raw materials for the industry Fifthly, enhance knowledge and skills for factory owners 21 4.2.3 Restructuring seafood processing Firstly, the restructuring of the product according to the instruction processing of value-added products to meet market demand Secondly, to ensure that the processing establishments have the capital for production and business and invest more fixed assets, receive technology transfer and long-term investment to meet production and business requirements Thirdly, local authorities promote trade promotion for processed seafood products to target large, high-demand markets 4.2.4 Expanding links in seafood processing Forming and developing asynchronous logistics system to improve the value and competitiveness of seafood products; pay attention to building and developing sustainable linkages with farming households and fishermen to control the origin and quality of aquatic raw materials In addition, the chain of links between processing establishments and fishermen, farmers also needs more support from the government and industry associations to improve operational efficiency 4.2.5 Improve socio-economic efficiency and environmental protection of the industry Firstly, it is necessary to strengthen policies to attract and call for foreign enterprises to invest in the field of seafood processing Secondly, policies on technology and human resources to improve labor productivity Thirdly, improve business capital productivity Fourthly, to bring the industry's production technology level to the same level as in the top provinces of the Mekong Delta Fifthly, improving social responsibility in seafood processing 4.2.6 Other implications Strengthening business - tax, business - customs partnerships, building a dialogue mechanism at all levels in the tax agency; The factory owners need to approach the seafood export and processing association; the local authorities need to further improve the operational efficiency of the association; banks need appropriate credit and 22 monetary policy management solutions to reduce faster than the interest rate level 4.3 Recommendation 4.3.1 For the Gorvenment of Tra Vinh province Tracking fisheries development planning; to develop processing establishments associated with raw material areas; have legal policies to support the processing factories in building infrastructure related to environmental protection Speed up the completion of infrastructure; Identify a strategy to link seaport operations with provinces around; continue to improve the one-gate implementation; promote investment and trade promotion at home and abroad for the province's fisheries sector;
