Vietnam aims to turn out 2.8 million tonnes of aquatic products this year, according to a plan set forth by the Department of Aquaculture under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD).
The amount is planned to include 1.2 million tonnes of tra fish, 380,000 tonnes of sea shrimp and 180,000 tonnes of molluscs.
To that end, MARD has urged localities to take measures to protect livestock, minimise the losses caused by erratic weather this year and provide technical support for local farmers.
In addition, localities should set up groups for production and help them link with processors and consumers, said the ministry./.
