The Brazilian government has suspended imports of frozen tilapia fillets from Vietnam due to phytosanitary concerns and pressure from local producers. The decision was made by Brazilian Fisheries and Aquaculture Minister Andre de Paula following the arrival of the first shipment of 25 metric tons of tilapia from Vietnam. The move comes after the Brazilian aquaculture producers trade body, Peixe BR, raised concerns about the lack of a risk assessment in Vietnam.
