Dried Anchovy for Export – The Key Product of Vimexco JSC

In Vietnam’s seafood industry, dried anchovy has always been considered a high-value product, serving both domestic culinary needs and representing the Vietnamese brand in international markets. With years of experience and proven reputation, Vimexco Joint Stock Company (Vimexco JSC) is proud to bring to the market premium-quality dried anchovy that meets international standards, carefully selected from raw material sourcing to packaging.

1. Selected Raw Materials – The Secret to Preserving the Essence of the Sea

To produce top-quality dried anchovies, Vimexco JSC places raw material selection as the top priority. Only fresh, headless anchovies are used, caught from clean fishing grounds with pristine waters. This strict selection process ensures the anchovies retain their natural sweetness, firm texture, and bright color even after drying.

2. Standardized Processing & Cleaning – Ensuring Food Safety

Immediately after harvest, the anchovies are thoroughly washed several times with clean water to remove impurities, sand, and any unwanted elements. This meticulous cleaning step not only guarantees food safety but also preserves the pure flavor of the final product – free from off-odors and impurities. This process ensures compliance with the stringent requirements of demanding markets such as Japan, South Korea, and Europe.

3. Natural Sun-Drying – Retaining Crispness and Flavor

Unlike many manufacturers that rely on industrial dryers, Vimexco JSC dries anchovies naturally under sunlight for approximately 1.5 days. This traditional method helps the anchovies maintain their crispiness, distinctive aroma, and natural aftertaste, while minimizing nutrient loss. As a result, the product is both flavorful and healthy.

4. Clear Quality Standards – Trust Through Numbers

• Moisture content: 40% – preventing mold growth while preserving natural tenderness.

• Salt content: 12% – sufficient for preservation without excessive saltiness, free from chemical preservatives.

• Tolerance level: 1–2% – reflecting strict control and consistency in production.

These parameters are rigorously tested and verified by Vimexco JSC, providing absolute confidence for partners and consumers alike.

5. Shelf Life & Export-Standard Packaging

• Shelf life: 12 months from production date, ensuring freshness and quality when stored properly.

• Packaging: Inner PE bag and 13kg outer carton, or customized packaging as per client request.

The professional packaging meets international traceability and labeling requirements, making customs clearance smooth across diverse global markets.
