There are 4,670 fish farming cages of various kinds and 2,700 ha of aquaculture area across the province. The yearly target is estimated at 9,300 tonnes, up 1,000 tonnes from the same period last year.

Of which, seedy food plants will cover 33,700 ha, industrial plants 3,300 ha, sugar cane over 8,000ha; vegetablesand bean plants of all kinds more than 5,000ha.
