(HBO) - Blessed with favourable natural conditions of the lake area, the caged fish specialty of Hoa Binh province has been known wide and far by many consumers.

Along with increasing the number of cages, attention has been paid to strictly controlling food safety quality, the factor that determines the sale of product. 

The linkage between production and sale of products of fish raised in cages in Da river in line with the value chain was built by the locality in 2017. The model continues to prove effective, creating an open direction for businesses and locals to participate in the production and trading of local cage-fish, thus reaching a larger market.

The Da river caged fish chain meeting VietGAP standard produced by the Hai Dang Seafood Co., Ltd in Cao Phong district and Hoa Binh City is favoured by Hanoi consumers.

 

Hanoi' customers now prefer dishes processed from Da River specialties when they visit more than 30 restaurants which join the clean food chain provided by the Hai Dang Seafood Co., Ltd. The volume of fish supplied by the company to the market has been increasing thanks to its prestige and its products meeting VietGAP standards.

 

Notably, connection programmes for sales have been conducted regularly by the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development. The Da river fish products were introduced and registered to participate in the safe meal programme in Hanoi and the trade promotion conference in Son La province. 

Especially, at "Da river fish week in 2018” to introduce and promote clean fish specialty in Hanoi, more than 1 tonne of Da river fish belonging to the value chain was sold.

 


With key products made from traditional fish species such as black, yellow and dotted hemibagrus, cranoglanis, sturgeon, carp, black pike, and tilapia, Hoa Binh has two units and 10 households joining the value chain with a total of over 300 fish cages, supplying over 800 tonnes of products per year. 

 

Da Bac district has Hien Luong agro-forestry business and production service cooperative and 10 households participating in the chain, with 93 fish cages, turning out over 300 tonnes of products per year.

 

Currently, in addition to supplying safe fish products to the Hoa Binh market, a system of shops to introduce and supply safe cage fish in Da river was formed in Hanoi.

 

Hoa Binh’s fish products were certified to meet standards on food safety and origin. This helps the caged fish value chain in Da river have stable market, with the selling price always 20-30 percent higher than that of same product in the market./.
