Vietnamese seafood products are exported mainly through importers, thus, we have no opportunity to advertise Vietnamese seafood products to consumers and we have not focused on this issue. According to Mr. Le Quoc Vinh - General Director of Le Group, when businesses enter new markets, they need to present how many countries they have exported to as well as their products, and which position in the world market they are at.
