The container of canned clam meat was part of an order placed by the Spanish market for Lenger Vietnam Seafood Co., Ltd. The order totals 2 million cans (10 containers), and production and shipment will continue until 2022.
Canned clam meat was produced using clams harvested from clam farms in Nam Dinh province, being processed and packaged according to high-quality standards.
Director Tran Dinh Luan of the Directorate of Fisheries commented on the milestone, stating that it generates a positive signal: "Exporting canned clam meat product to Europe demonstrates that we can effectively control the culture area with the material region certified with ASC and the production process meets the stringent requirements of the European market."
Additionally, Mr. Tran Dinh Luan said that the exporting deal is a positive outcome of the EVFTA free trade agreement, as it would result in future market expansion for Vietnam's seafood exports.
Additionally, according to Director of the Directorate, mastering this manufacturing method would enable the clam farming business to reduce its dependence on the fresh market and take the lead in raw material production and processing for export.
Meanwhile, a representative of Lenger Vietnam Company said that this is the outcome of the company's efforts in developing a canned clam meat manufacturing line, as well as consistently seeking consumers and expanding the market.
The company has installed and put into production a line of advanced equipment that includes receiving raw clams, handling sand and mud cleaning, boiling clams for meat, washing clam meat, and cleaning clams. The equipment is then canned, sterilized, and packaged with a capacity of 12 million boxes per year.
Following various tests and the completion of the manufacturing process, samples of canned clam flesh were examined on a rotating basis by European clients. To date, the business has received the first order for 2 million boxes in 2022 which is equivalent to 2,000 tons of raw clams.
Additionally, the business is finalizing processes to introduce canned clam flesh into domestic hypermarket chains and natural food shops.

The production and finding export orders for clam meat is believed to have contributed to promoting the clam farming industry in Nam Dinh province and the northern coastal provinces, diversifying products processed from clams, increasing export revenue of the country. The business plans to finish the manufacturing line in the near future and is aggressively seeking markets and prospective consumers for its canned clam meat product in Japan, Korea, and Russia...
This unit is doing research to develop other canned goods using clam species farmed in the North, broadening canned seafood items for export and home consumption.
