At the same time, about 90% of pangasius farming establishments supply raw materials for export processing and domestic market consumption. The pangasius industry accounts for 10% of the domestic consumption market share of total output.
In the future, sectors and levels in the province will continue to implement the contents of the plan to restructure the pangasius industry. In particular, propose solutions to update and monitor the production and consumption of seafood to serve the direction and administration, as well as promptly support and remove difficulties and obstacles in the production process. output, ensuring the completion of planned targets. At the same time, strengthen state management of fisheries to ensure the quality of input factors in the production process as well as the output quality of products; support product consumption connections; and improve product competitiveness. Implement a management plan for pangasius and fish cage farming areas in the province to attract organizations and individuals to invest in production.
