Attending the event, Ms. Truong Thi Diep, Acting Chairwoman of Lap Vo District People's Committee, commented: "IDI is currently a leading seafood processing enterprise in the province. The US seafood processing factory will be the pioneer factory implementing the "Green Journey - Green Value" in the production orientation of the pangasius industry launched by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development".
Mr. Le Van Canh, General Director of IDI Company, said that the US Seafood Processing Factory has a total investment capital of nearly 700 billion VND, built on a 2.4-hectare land area. The factory is expected to be operational after 1 year of construction, with a capacity of 20,000 tons of finished pangasius fillets/year.
"The factory is equipped with a production line of equipment completely imported from Europe, with an automatic feeding process and a modern freezing system. We are committed to using green capital to build the factory, applying clean farming and processing processes to contribute to the sustainable development of the pangasius industry," said Mr. Canh.
Mr. Canh added that IDI is currently one of six Vietnamese seafood enterprises that the United States has granted low anti-dumping tax rates. The company will take advantage of this to increase exports, contributing to promoting the value of the domestic pangasius industry.
Currently, the pangasius industry in Dong Thap has 28 processing factories, with a total capacity of half a million tons per year, accounting for nearly 40% of the country's pangasius export turnover. The industry employs over 25,000 local workers.
With this advantage, Dong Thap is planned by the Government to be a center of high-tech agriculture and seafood processing of the whole country.
