The provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development on November 20 coordinated with Hai Dang Group Hoa Binh Seafood Company Limited to release 1.5 tonnes of fries into Hoa Binh Lake to regenerate aquatic resources, with a total value of 266 million VND (10,460 USD).
This, an activity within the framework of
the second Da River Fish and Shrimp Festival in Hoa Binh province, saw the
presence of Bui Duc Hinh, Standing Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party
Committee, Chairman of the provincial People's Council; and Dinh Cong Su, Vice
Chairman of the provincial People's Committee.
Bui Duc Hinh, Standing Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the provincial People's Council, and leaders of several departments and sectors release fries into Hoa Binh Lake.
The Da River flows through Hoa Binh
province with an area of about 8,900 hectares, belonging to 19 communes of Da
Bac, Mai Chau, Cao Phong and Tan Lac districts, and Hoa Binh city. Hoa Binh
Lake is considered a valuable treasure of organisms and aquatic resources of
the province. However, in recent years, fishing, especially destructive fishing
methods, has depleted aquatic resources in the lake.
Therefore, every year, the agricultural
sector has mobilised many resources to protect, regenerate and develop aquatic
resources in Hoa Binh Lake. The activity aims to help organisations and
individuals understand the importance and responsibility of protecting aquatic
resources, implementing aquaculture and exploitation in association with
environmental protection, and strictly prohibiting the use of explosives, toxic
substances and electric shocks to exploit aquatic resources. This contributes
to the regeneration and restoration of resources, and diversification of
aquatic species in the waters of Hoa Binh Lake.
The Department of Industry and Trade of Hoa Binh in collaboration with the People's Committee of Da Bac district launched an exhibition fair on November 26 at the Da Bac District stadium, displaying unique products of ethnic minorities and mountainous areas in the district.
As part of the opening ceremony of the 2024 Hoa Binh Province Da River Fish and Shrimp Festival, the auction of specialty fish from the Hoa Binh reservoir attracted significant attention.
The 2nd Da River Fish and Shrimp Festival took place in the northern province of Hoa Binh from November 19-23. Present at the opening ceremony of the festival were Secretary of the provincial Party Committee Nguyen Phi Long, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Nguyen Quoc Tri, Chairman of the provincial People's Council Bui Duc Hinh, and Chairman of the provincial People's Committee Bui Van Khanh, among others.

The delegation included the chairperson of the Indian Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam, embassy personnel, and Indian businesses operating in Vietnam.
