Ministry strives for sustainable development of tra fish

In an effort to ensure a sustainable development of the tra fish sector, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development will support enterprises and farmers to boost links in order to improve tra fish quality to fulfill choosy markets’ demands.

After four years of implementation, a project of building a sustainable tra fish supply chain has proved effective with a 7-10% decrease in production costs of fish sapling rearing, breeding and processing. Thanks partly to the project, lots of breeding sites have met global standards.

Still, the supply chain needs to improve its diversity and added value for more sustainable development. Links between stakeholders should also be enhanced to further the interests of enterprises and farmers.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development is also reviewing focused tra fish farming areas and breeding to improve the production quality. It’s also paying heed to linking closed chains and expanding markets.
