In Bac Giang province, there are currently 394 aquaculture farms. Each farm covers at least 2ha of water surface, and generates an average income of VND40 million upwards a year, according to local Sub-department of Fisheries.
Most of the farms are located in three districts of Tan Yen (101 farms), Yen Dung (76) and Viet Yen (74). The farms all together annually provide about 2,000MT of fish, accounting for 15 percent of the province’s total aquaculture output, and creating jobs for thousands of local workers, contributing to the cause of poverty reduction at the locality.
