On November 7, 2022, the Hoa Binh provincial People’s Committee issued Action Plan No. 212/KH-UBND on the implementation of the national programme on aquaculture development for the 2021 - 2030 period in the locality. Improvements have been recorded thanks to programme implementation over the last more than two years.


Cage fish farming has developed fast in Thung Nai commune, Cao Phong district, over the past years.

Dang Thi Duyen, deputy head of the province’s sub-department of fisheries, said the plan looks to develop efficient and sustainable aquaculture actively adapting to climate change; improve the productivity, quality, value, and competitiveness of aquaculture products; meet the domestic market’s demand and work towards export; and effectively tap into local aquaculture advantages and potential.

It targets an annual aquaculture output of 14,000 tonnes and the fisheries sector’s annual growth rate of 6.5% by 2030. It also aims to create jobs and raise income for locals to contribute to poverty reduction, socio-economic stability, national defence, and security in Hoa Binh.

To carry out the plan, in 2022, the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development selected, supplemented, and replaced breeding fish, including carp, grass carp, and mud carp, she said.

Every year, the fisheries sector conducts monitoring of the aquaculture environment to serve management, give production directions, and issue timely warnings and response guidance when the farming environment worsens so as to minimise environment-related losses and sustainably develop aquaculture.

Over the last couple of years, many farming models applying the VietGAP standards and sci-tech advances have taken shape and multiplied, thereby raising the added value, cutting production cost, reducing post-harvest losses, and contributing to the fisheries sector’s sustainable development.

During 2022 - 2024, the sector’s production value grew 6.5% annually, reaching the set target. However, Duyen said, it is still necessary to conduct surveys and build a plan on the arrangement of cages in concentrated aquatic farming zones in connection with tourist sites in the vicinity of the Hoa Binh lake, thereby improving the programme’s effectiveness and sustainably developing aquaculture in the province.
