Vietnam has an ambition to produce and export seafood to lead the world

2021-01-11 - 5 years ago

The main target set by 2030 is the value of seafood export turnover of 14-16 billion USD; By 2045, Vietnam is a center of deep seafood processing, belongs to the group of three leading seafood producing and exporting countries in the world.

According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, after 10 years of implementing the Fisheries Development Strategy up to 2020, it shows that in the 2010-2019 period, the GDP structure of the fishery sector in the entire agricultural sector increased from 17.8% to 24.4 %.
Fishery production increased from 5.1 million tons to 8.2 million tons. Seafood export turnover increased from 5.0 billion USD to 8.6 billion USD, equivalent to 1.7% of the total export turnover of the country and 20.8% of the agricultural export turnover.
 
Fisheries create jobs for about 3.9 million workers, contributing to the restructuring of the agricultural and rural economy; The income of fishery workers is constantly improving ...
 
 
In addition to the above achievements, in the Statement on the Approval of Vietnam's Fisheries Development Strategy to 2030, a vision to 2045 that the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development just sent to the Prime Minister also stated that the fisheries sector is emerging reveal many shortcomings, shortcomings, not commensurate with potentials and advantages.
 
Fishery development is not really sustainable, stable and effective; the competitiveness of our country's aquatic products and products on regional and international markets is not high, and production scale remains small; the structure of the fisheries sector is not reasonable.
Along with that, the fisheries infrastructure system is outdated and asynchronous; investment capital for fisheries infrastructure remains difficult; ineffective production organization; The quality and added value of the fisheries sector remains low.
The main cause leading to this situation is both subjective and objective, but the representative of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development affirmed that the subjective cause is mainly.
 
That is reflected by the fact that the production relationship is still very fragmented, the lack of the connection of large commodity production thinking between raw material producers and processing establishments, between production and business establishments. with management agencies and scientists, especially the lack of the linkage of the domestic seafood value chain with the global seafood value chain, ...
This leads to high production costs and reduced international competition. On the other hand, management thinking is still bold political thinking, tenure, applying machinery and operating mechanisms, not following the market mechanism and not meeting the requirements of international integration (the EU yellow card is a proof).
 
The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development also mentioned the angle, the budget allocated is not enough in quantity and time as required by the sector.
The fisheries sector is entering a new stage of development, on the basis of outstanding achievements of the previous period, along with challenges in the new context, according to Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Phung Duc Tien: " issuing the Vietnam Fisheries Development Strategy to 2030, with a vision to 2045, is very necessary ".
The main target set by 2030 is the growth rate of aquatic production value of 3.0 - 4.0% / year; the total production of aquatic products domestically produced 9.8 million tons (of which aquaculture output was 7.0 million tons, and fisheries production was 2.8 million tons); seafood export turnover value reaches 14-16 billion USD.
 
Creating jobs for over 3.5 million workers, with per capita income of aquatic workers equivalent to the average income of workers nationwide ...
 
With a vision to 2045, fisheries will be a modern, sustainable commercial economy, with advanced management, science and technology; is a center for deep seafood processing, belongs to the group of three leading seafood producing and exporting countries in the world.
Hold an important position in the structure of agricultural economic sectors and marine economy, contributing to ensuring nutrition security, food, national defense and security, sovereignty of sea and islands ...
