Orientation of marine farming in our country
Currently, marine aquaculture plays a particularly important role in the development of the marine economy, aiming to turn our country into a strong marine nation, rich from the sea in the century of seas and oceans.
To concretize this strategy, the Prime Minister issued Decision No. 1664/QD-TTg approving the Marine Aquaculture Project to 2030, with a vision to 2045.
The project aims to have a marine farming area of 280,000 hectares by 2025, an output of 850,000 tons, and an export turnover of 0.8 - 1 billion USD. By 2030, the marine farming area will reach 300,000 hectares, an output of 1.45 million tons, and an export turnover of 1.8 - 2 billion USD.
The development orientation of our country's marine aquaculture industry in the coming time is to develop industrial marine aquaculture with advanced technology, strict planning, and modern management methods.
Developing marine aquaculture in coastal areas, offshore areas, offshore and onshore, promoting biodiversity in tropical areas. Integrating economic and technical resources of oil and gas, shipbuilding, maritime transport, and ecosystem engineering industries, ensuring sustainable and modern development.
According to Mr. Tran Dinh Luan - Director of the Department of Fisheries (Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development - NNPTNT), in the recent past, the Government and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development have issued a number of policies and programs to encourage and promote marine farming. Thanks to that, the marine farming industry has been initially formed in Vietnam such as: Infrastructure for seed production areas, concentrated farming areas, supporting industries (feed, farming equipment, cages, new materials), processing industry, developing consumer markets, etc.
The potential and advantages for developing marine aquaculture in our country are there. But to fly far and create a strong ecosystem, we still have many difficulties that need to be resolved, especially in terms of technology and policy mechanisms in licensing sea surface allocation.
