At the meeting, the association of Phu Quoc fish sauce reported the delegation about establishment and application of standards and technical standards in making and trading fish sauce as well as pointed out difficulties and entanglements. The association also proposed the People’s Committee of Kien Giang Province to save land for the relocation of Phu Quoc fish sauce handicraft village to create favorable conditions for local fish sauce makers to uphold and promote the value of Phu Quoc fish sauce which has existed and developed for more than 200 years.
Local authorities also proposed the delegation to recheck standards on traditional fish sauce and separate the definition of traditional fish sauce from that of its industrial counterpart instead of equating them as the same which will cause consumers to misunderstand about traditional fish sauce.
