commune has created favourabe conditions for local famers to expand fish farming
cages, thus improving their lives. It has 194 fish farming cages, generating
billions of VND per year, accounting 30 percent of the local people’s total
revenue. Head of the fishery logistic cooperative Xa Van Huy said his
cooperative has 50 fish farming cages, helping to raise incomes for its members.
After three years of
implementation, Hoa Binh province has exceeded the targets set in the resolution.
The province now has 4,050 fish farming cages, equivalent to 250,000 cubic
metres, 550 higher than the figure set in the resolution. These cages produce
7,700 tonnes of fish, much higher than the target of 2,100 tonnes of fish. They
have created stable jobs for 5,000 labourers.
Thirty five businesses,
cooperatives and households have participated in large-scale intensive fishing
farming, accounting for 55 percent of the total fish cages and 67 percent of
the total output. The province has also lured an increasing amount of investment
in the sector. Each hectare of fish farming generates 125 million VND per year.
