In order to develop pangasius farming sustainably, in the past years, many models of chain linkages in production and consumption of pangasius have been applied in Vinh Long, which had high economic efficiency. Currently in Vinh Long province, there were 20/150 establishments that are stocking and linking their production between farms and seafood processing factories. Of that, there were 03 farms signing a contract with a seafood processing factory, accordingly, the factory deliver feeds to farmers and then reclaims the products. In addition, there have been established some other linkages such as the linkage between farms and processing plants and feed mills; linkage between farms and shops selling aquatic materials and linkage through outsourcing of production processes.
Linkages have brought many benefits to farmers and processing enterprises as well as input supply enterprises. In particular, the benefits that businesses have are that businesses have created large production areas on the same varieties and mechanized into the fields to increase labor productivity. These helped businesses to have stable material areas to meet the production requirements in accordance with the plan of the company, thus reduced the scarcity of raw materials for production, purchasing raw materials at high prices or increasing input costs of products. At the same time, these created favorable conditions for enterprises to build, develop and advertise their trademarks for export products in order to raise the competitiveness of enterprises on the market.
Besides, farmers also saw benefits when joining the chain as they are guided by leading enterprises in terms of production techniques, provided with sufficient seeds and supplies for production and even cash advance to cover living expenses; higher incomes thanks to improved production efficiency and stable income.
To restructure the fisheries sector, Vinh Long province has also focused on developing commercial aquaculture areas with diverse models and cultured species and obtaining international standards as well as VietGAP standards. At present, Vinh Long province has an area of 257.62 hectares of pangasius farming which are certified. Of which, 75 hectares were certified by GlobalGAP/ASC standard (07 establishments); 40 ha were certified by the international standards + VietGAP (5 establishments); 142.58 ha of VietGAP standards (121 establishments).
In addition, facilities of producing seed are applied standards to improve the quality of seeds. At present, there are 02 facilities of producing seed certified by GlobalGAP with the total area of 6.3 hectares.
