The supply chain for fish and fishery products can involve a large number of stakeholders between the fisherman/fish farmer and the final consumer. Most seafood is traded internationally, particularly the high-valued species most commonly associated with the seafood. There are four possible routes fish caught by a foreign fleet may make its way to the consuming nation: 1) it may be exported directly after harvest; 2) it may be exported after only primary processing occurs within the foreign harvesting nation; 3) it may be exported after both primary and secondary processing occur within the foreign harvesting nation; or, 4) it may be exported after harvest to a third country processor which will then re-export the product to the consuming nation. A relatively new feature of the global supply chain is the emergence of a third country processor – a country to which nations export unprocessed products simply to become processed, only to have those products re-exported. The objectives of this paper were not only to look into the relevant literature but also to find common ground regarding the added value of the chain of the aquaculture enterprises in Vietnam and reports the results of a survey of 180 the aquaculture enterprises in Vietnam. In this paper, the researchers used analytical method of explore factor analysis to determining that are components of the added value of the chain of the aquaculture enterprises in Vietnam. This paper conducted during the time from July 2014 to December, 2015.
The research result showed that there were 180 the aquaculture enterprises in Vietnam interviewed but 150 processed and answered 16 questions. The researcher had analyzed KMO test, the result of KMO analysis used for multiple regression analysis. Enterprises’ responses were measured through an adapted questionnaire on a 5-point Likert scale. Hard copy and online questionnaire were distributed among enterprises in Vietnam. In addition, the regression analysis results showed that there were four factors, which included of factors following: seed (KG), Raise (NT), Processing (CB) and Exporting (XK) actually affected the added value of the chain of the aquaculture enterprises in Vietnam with 5 % significance level. The research results were processed from SPSS 20.0 software. The parameters of the model estimated by Least - Squares Method tested for the model assumption with 5% significance level.
