representatives of the Research Institute for Aquaculture No 1 visit a cage
fish farming model on Hoa Binh Lake.
The RIA1 is implementing the third phase of a project to support Cuba in
developing aquaculture in order to increase aquaculture production in the Latin
American nation. Within the framework of a training
session on raising tilapia for Cuban fishing engineers, the institute organised
a field trip to learn and experience a cage fish farming model on Hoa Binh
Lake.
Representatives of the provincial Fisheries Sub-department briefed trainees on
the development of cage fish farming on Hoa Binh Lake. In the first six months
of this year, the province has 4,930 fish cages with a yield of about 1.2
tonnes per cage. Local farmers raise many species of high economic value such
as black carp, tilapia and sturgeon. Currently, cage fish farming on Hoa Binh
Lake is developing strongly, creating more jobs for local residents and
improving their incomes.
The Cuban delegation visited a number
of models in Thai Binh ward (Hoa Binh city) and Vay Nua commune (Da Bac
district) during which owners shared experiences of cage fish farming on the
lake.
At the end of the working trip, the delegation said they hope that in the
future there will be more cooperation projects in the field of fisheries in
general and fish cage farming in particular./.
After more than four years of implementing a project launched by the Hoa Binh Party Committee’s Standing Board on developing agriculture and promoting product consumption linked with building new-style rural areas for the 2021-2025 period, the province’s industry and trade sector has made significant strides, greatly contributing to local socio-economic development.

The district has been focusing on executing the plans and trying to achieve a GRDP growth rate of approximately 15%.
Since the beginning of this year, under the direction of the Department of Agriculture and Environment, the Sub-Department of Agricultural, Forestry, and Fishery Product Quality Management has strengthened the integration of the professional activities to promote and guide the organizations and individuals in the production and trading of agricultural, forestry, and fishery products to comply with the legal regulations regarding the use of chemicals, pesticides and veterinary medicines in crop cultivation, livestock farming and aquaculture.
