Binh Thuan province has a long coastline that is considered to have great potential to promote the development of the fisheries economy. Thanks to geographical and natural conditions, many ecosystems have been created that are extremely diverse and rich in fisheries. Due to the rich and diverse number of products, the province's fisheries have many opportunities to compete highly in the consumer and export markets.
Rich and diverse aquatic resources
Binh Thuan's aquatic resources are known to be quite rich in species, ranked as one of the three largest fishing grounds in the country. The coastal area of the province is also home to a number of bivalve molluscs of high economic value such as: fan-shaped scallops, razor clams, clams, silk clams, and dom... These are species that are almost never found in other coastal areas of Vietnam. The richness of Binh Thuan's aquatic resources is associated with the characteristic phenomenon of "upwelling water" in the South Central Coast, which has a positive impact on the habitat of many species of organisms, concentrating many tropical seafood species, creating a rich marine population. Binh Thuan has 7 coastal and island districts, towns, and cities, with 36 communes, wards, and towns bordering the sea. Many localities have long-standing fisheries and have strengths in the province's fisheries industry based on advantages in geographical location, natural conditions, potential resources and traditional factors including key industries and products such as seafood exploitation, especially offshore fishing and fisheries logistics services, processing frozen and dried seafood, fish sauce, raising and producing shrimp and high-quality marine fish breeds. In addition to favorable fishing grounds, Binh Thuan also has ports and fishing wharves combined with storm shelters for fishing vessels that have become logistics service hubs, attracting boats inside and outside the province to gather and consume products, creating raw materials for processing, supplying materials and fuel for exploitation, increasing the ability to fish offshore. In particular, seafood exploitation continues to affirm itself as an important economic sector in coastal and island localities and accounts for a large proportion in the production value structure of the entire fisheries sector. Seafood exploitation has solved the problem of a large number of laborers in coastal areas, creating the main source of income for tens of thousands of fishing households, providing raw materials for processing and valuable food sources for tourists. In particular, shrimp seed production is considered an outstanding advantage of the province, becoming a large shrimp seed supply center of the region and the whole country, the reputation and quality of the seed are gradually affirmed.
Create raw materials for seafood processing
With the potential and advantages of seafood resources, the seafood processing industry of the province is currently developing and becoming one of the important economic sectors with large-scale commodity production. Accordingly, seafood export also plays an extremely important role in the province's economy, contributing significant potential to the economy as well as logistics services throughout the province. The current supply of raw materials for seafood processing in the province has met the needs and processing capacity according to the needs of the domestic and export markets, including seafood from exploitation and farming.
To create a source of raw materials for processing from seafood exploitation, the Provincial People's Committee said it will reorganize production in seafood exploitation, develop modern offshore exploitation associated with maritime logistics services, increase offshore seafood output to account for the main proportion of total fishing output. At the same time, arrange and maintain a reasonable number of fishing vessels and exploitation output in offshore and coastal areas in accordance with the characteristics of resources and exploitation capabilities, including specialty seafood species such as squid, shrimp, and bivalve mollusks. Promote the application of science and technology in exploitation, especially seafood preservation technology, aiming to reduce the post-exploitation loss rate to below 10% by 2030. At the same time, increase investment, upgrade and complete the infrastructure of fishing ports in the province, improve the quality of reception, preservation, food safety and trade of exploited products to strongly attract fishing vessels from provinces to gather and consume seafood, forming seafood raw material supply centers through fishing ports in Phan Thiet, Tuy Phong, La Gi, Phu Quy. Organize linkages according to the value chain with seafood processing enterprises as the core, components in the linkage chain including teams, groups, fishermen directly exploiting, purchasing facilities at fishing ports to ensure harmony of interests between components in the chain, facilitating the traceability of legally exploited seafood according to regulations...
In addition, invest in and develop a standard cold storage system to serve the preservation of raw materials associated with fishing port infrastructure, industrial zones and clusters in key fishing areas. In particular, create raw materials from aquaculture, thereby promoting the application of technology in aquaculture, developing key farmed species, improving productivity and quality, especially shrimp and farmed species according to processing needs. Organize a pilot model of linkage between processing enterprises and organizations and individuals of industrial marine farming to create raw materials according to processing needs, ensuring quality and food safety. In addition, encourage and create favorable conditions for seafood processing enterprises in the province, especially large-scale processing and exporting enterprises, to import raw materials to process products suitable for domestic consumption and export needs, ensuring compliance with domestic and international regulations, avoiding origin fraud, trade fraud, etc.
