Did you knowโUnlike fresh fish, #driedfish powder has an extensive shelf life and can be easily transported where cold storage infrastructure is lacking.

Beautiful pictures from the trip to Dien Bien province! Thank you so much, Ambassador Robyn Mudie @AusAmbVN for visiting the @ACIARAustralia project last week.
These leading ethnic minority farmers from #DienBien province in northwest VN have changed their beef farming practices and seen improved income thanks to @ACIARAustraliaโs livestock project. Great to meet them during my trip to the province this week.
