On May 25, 2023, Royal Seafood welcomed a Canadian delegation led by Jagrup Brar, the Minister of Trade for the province of British Columbia, one of Canada’s largest and most developed provinces.
During their visit to Vietnam, Jagrup Brar visited important trade partner companies, including Royal Seafood. Royal Seafood is the largest retail seafood chain in Vietnam, with nearly 20 stores in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi. It is also one of the major seafood importers from Canada, supplying popular products in Vietnam such as geoduck, Canadian lobster, Dungeness Crab, and oysters.
During the meeting, Jagrup Brar emphasized the importance of close trade cooperation between Vietnamese businesses, British Columbia’s businesses, and Canada in general. The focus was on the import and export of seafood to ensure that the freshest and best seafood from Canada is available to Vietnamese consumers through partners in Vietnam, such as Royal Seafood.
