The
fish and fish processing enterprises should be linked together to
improve the quality of breeding areas, product quality by applying
advanced processes in aquaculture, fish processing; increase prices added to the product.
It
was directed by the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Cao
Duc Phat at a meeting to summarize the direction of production and
consumption of catfish in the Mekong Delta in 2011, to discuss measures
to implement the task in 2012 on 7 / 2 in Can Tho.
At
the conference, participants stated the current situation of the
catfish industry, the small farmers need to borrow capital at
preferential interest rates by the Government, with an investment of
6-10 billion / ha but Banks disbursed inadequate, many farmers do not have the capital to drop back. Hanging lake pond phenomenon very common in many localities. Planning
and management planning at a local implementation is not good, farming
infrastructure did not meet the practical requirements of production. Some business interests of his local has sought lower prices in some product markets abroad. Many exporters but no fish processing plants. The
advertising program and trade promotion are not strong enough to
transmit timely and accurate information to customers domestic and
foreign consumers.
In
2012, industry and fish processing area proposed targets reared
5500-6000 ha of production estimated at 1.2 to 1.5 million tons of
exports from 1.85 to 2.00 billion USD
or 100% of facilities are numbered catfish, catfish registration
conditions and implement traceability and 60% of farming is certified
VietGap, Global GAP ...
To
accomplish this goal, the Steering Committee of production and
consumption of catfish in the Mekong Delta as proposed solutions to the
planning review conducted for farming, fish breeding areas, thereby
guiding the making the
priority investment projects to develop infrastructure to serve catfish
investment in 2013 concentrated on directing stocking seasons, crops,
feed crops in the frame; plan area and production tra of the plan in 2011.
Also,
collection of small farmers, retail into production teams, creating
linkages between producers, processors and consumed implementing the
processing of raw materials, contract farmers have standard products, to comply with the conditions of production rules to ensure hygiene and food safety. Enterprises
are encouraged to build processing for regional development projects
through the material type of link in order to reduce risk.
In
addition, enhanced inspection of inputs, particularly quality food,
seed, veterinary drugs and other treatment products, improve the
environment and boosting the application of science and technology in aquaculture production, particularly in the field of disease control and seed production.
In addition, localities should firmly dealt with severely for violations of environmental pollution in the production process.
