Russia's Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance Service (VPSS) has lifted the ban on seafood imports from three more Vietnamese enterprises, according to NAFIQAD, Vietnam's quality control agency on agricultural and seafood products.
Those removed from the banned list include dry seafood exporter Anh Long Company and two catfish exporters, Tan Phu Trung Food Processing Factory and AGF9 Frozen Factory of the An Giang Fisheries Export and Import Company.
These enterprises are allowed to resume exporting because they have met Russia's food safety standards.
Earlier, the ban was also removed for seven Vietnamese seafood exporters, namely Hung Vuong Corporation, Hung Vuong - Vinh Long Co Ltd, Ba Lai Seafood Processing Plant under the Ben Tre Forestry-Seafood Import-Export JSC, Hiep Thanh Seafood Processing JSC, Hung Ca Co Ltd, Minh Phu Seafood Corporation, and Minh Quy Seafood Co Ltd.
In 2013, Vietnam's seafood exports to Russian brought in revenue of US$103.3 million.
