Vietnamese, Dutch firms sign aquaculture cooperation deal
Quang Ninh (VNA) – Vietnam’s Quan
Minh Co. Ltd and the Netherlands’ De Heus Co. Ltd signed a
comprehensive cooperation agreement in the northern province of Quang Ninh on
March 20, marking a significant step forward in Vietnam's aquaculture industry.
Both sides will jointly study and develop models for raising
and producing various aquatic varieties, as well as process and trade aquatic
products.
Additionally, they will work together to
produce high-yield and high-quality aquatic varieties, with a target production
capacity of about 5-6 billion mollusks per year while seeking domestic
and foreign markets to consume products.
They will seek investment capital to develop
farms, aquaculture businesses and distribution networks. The
collaboration also aims to establish a closed chain encompassing
seafood processing, purchasing, preservation, marketing, and export.
In Quang Ninh, Quan Minh acts as a focal point
linking with associated companies and cooperatives in Van Don. Together,
they are building a large-scale integrated seafood production and export chain
covering 2,000ha across Van Yen, Quan Lan, and Minh Chau communes.
De Heus Co. Ltd., a subsidiary of De Heus Group, brings
expertise in animal feed production. Founded in Vietnam in late 2008, the
company operates nine factories and a nationwide distribution network,
specialising in providing high-quality feed for livestock, poultry and
fisheries./.
