In order to further boost the development of the sector in the years to come, a number of policies are being created to attract investment and offer support, Head of the Vietnam Directorate for Fisheries Tran Dinh Luan told a recent seminar on cooperation between Vietnam and Norway in marine aquaculture.
The seminar aimed to create a platform for participants from the public and private sectors and academia to discuss ways for Vietnam to develop marine aquaculture in a sustainable manner and the role of relevant stakeholders in that process.
The importance of innovation and technological solutions in the sector’s growth and how to train skilled workers to meet requirements were also on the agenda.
Vietnam is implementing a master plan on marine aquaculture development by 2030 and a vision towards 2045, in order to promote growth in a comprehensive, safe, effective, sustainable, and eco-friendly manner and to create high-quality products that meet both domestic and foreign demand, according to Mr. Luan.
