Vietnam targets growth in mariculture to drive marine economy

mariculture shrimp aquaculture marine economy sustainable seafood Vietnam fisheries

Vietnam is positioning mariculture as a key pillar of its marine economy following Resolution No 20-NQ/TW. The government aims for mariculture production value to grow by an average of 8% annually, eventually representing 15% of the total fisheries sector value. This strategic shift seeks to utilize the country's extensive coastline and exclusive economic zone as inland aquaculture spaces reach saturation.

To achieve these goals, experts emphasize a transition from small-scale, near-shore farming toward industrialized, high-tech offshore aquaculture. This includes the use of advanced materials like high-density polyethylene (HDPE) cages and integrated technologies such as artificial intelligence and automated monitoring to improve productivity and meet international standards.

In related developments for the sector, the HTX Thanh Dat shrimp farming cooperative has received the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) Farm Standard certification from DNV. This certification validates the cooperative’s adherence to environmental and social requirements, supporting its ability to connect with international export markets through enhanced transparency and sustainable practices.
