(HBO) - Tien Phong commune in Da Bac district has 10 out of the 12 hamlets being located by the Hoa Binh lake which has rich and diverse aquatic resources. Therefore, more than 300 households have focused on developing caged fish farming with over 800 cages.

In 2018, Le Dinh Hoi in Tup hamlet, Tien Phong commune, Da Bac district provided 6 tonnes of fish to the market, earning 200 million VND in profit.

Caged fish farming was initiated in the locality before 2000. However, as science and technology have not been applied in the production process, and the consumption market is not stable, the model has developed ineffectively.

From 2013, locals in Muc, Tup and Dieng hamlets has been focusing on developing strongly caged fish farming models with varieties of Chien fish (Bagarius bagarius), Lang fish (Hemibagrus) and Tram den (Mylopharyngodon piceus). The profits from each cage developed effectively is estimated to be 20 - 30 million VND per year.

In order to encourage and support residents in Tien Phong commune in particular, and those from other communes by the Hoa Binh lake in general, the provincial People’s Committee issued a decision on implementing policies to support caged fish farming in the locality in the period of 2015 - 2020.

Accordingly, 142 local households have been provided with 315 fish cages worth nearly 3 billion VND. In addition, the commune has directed sectors and agencies to strengthen coordination in organising training courses and transferring science and technology to attract the participation of aquatic breeding households. Local people have been supported in accessing to preferential capital to expand the model.

Xa Van Thuc, Chairman of the communal People’s Committee, said per capita income in the locality in 2018 reached 18 million VND, and the rate of poor households was at 59.86 percent.

Therefore, the locality authorities have determined that caged fish farming is a sustainable poverty reduction model to help local people improve their income and promote poverty reduction.

Under current regulations, products in the One Commune – One Product (OCOP) programme that are rated three stars or higher must undergo re-evaluation every three months.

This underscores the urgent need for producers to enhance product quality and gradually develop their OCOP products into strong, marketable brands.
