Progress: Can Tho Fish Platform
• Mekong Delta sourced fish represents 60% of volumes of METRO fish assortment (>80 species with whole & processed; farmed & captured fish range).
• Can Tho Fish platform serves 19 METRO Cash & Carry Vietnam stores nationwide.
• Total volume of fish purchased through the platform has reached 4,000 MT after 2 years.
• The platform has played an increasingly important role in integrating the fresh fish cold chain into the domestic market, connecting farmers to the modern trade network, increasing farmers’ incomes as well as promoting good agricultural practices among farmers.
