Through GOAL, GAA strives to carry out its mission of responsible aquaculture by providing a venue at which leadership development, cooperation and education are encouraged.
It’s been nine years since GOAL has been held in Vietnam. At the time, in 2005, GOAL (Global Outlook for Aquaculture Leadership) was called the Global Shrimp Outlook and attracted about 450 attendees, the highest GOAL attendance to date.
Vietnam’s aquaculture industry has grown significantly since then. In 2012, the country exported U.S. $6.13 billion worth of seafood, led by shrimp (U.S. $2.24 billion) and Pangasius (U.S. $1.74 billion).
