An overview of the meeting (Photo: VNA)It is necessary to calculate the specific numbers of vessels of the northern, central and southern regions, manage of port infrastructure, and mobilise social resources to invest in the system.
As the fisheries sector plays an important role in ensuring fishermen’s livelihoods as well as defence security, the planning work must meet this requirement, the deputy minister stressed.
Supporting services, processing technology and measures to reduce logistic costs should be taken into account as well.
During the planning process, it is also important to turn the five major fishing grounds of Hai Phong, Da Nang, Ba Ria-Vung Tau, Khanh Hoa and Kien Giang into growth poles, contributing to promoting socio-economic development, Tien emphasised.
In the draft planning, Vietnam will have 172 fishing harbours, an increase from the 125 at present, while the number of fishing vessels will decrease to 83,600 by 2030./.
