This included 3.93 million tonnes of fish, up 2.8%, and 793,400 tonnes of shrimp, marking a 5.6% rise.
Despite the overall growth, the sector continues to face several challenges. Key issues include declining natural fishery resources, overfishing, low economic efficiency, weak logistics infrastructure, and fragmented, small-scale production.
To ensure sustainable development, local authorities nationwide are encouraging farmers to adopt environmentally friendly aquaculture technologies, such as closed-loop systems and organic farming models. They are also urging a reduction in the use of chemicals, veterinary drugs, and antibiotics in aquatic farming practices.
Following a strong rebound in the first half, the industry is striving to meet its full-year export target of 10.5 billion USD, a 4.3% increase from 2024. Having already earned 5.16 billion USD, it faces the critical task of generating over 5.4 billion USD in the second half./.
