Checking the high-tech tra fish farming in the Mekong Delta province of AnGiang on February 17, Cuong lauded the application of nanobubble aerationsystem and bakture powder catalyst to treat wastewater in tra fish breedingponds in Nam Viet Joint Stock Company, which helps protect the environmentwhile bringing more benefits to the farmers and contributing to the formationof complete value chain of the businesses.
Around 360 million high-quality fries, and some 200,000 tonnes of material trafish are produced after Nam Viet deployed the technologies in an area of 600hectares in Chau Phu district’s Binh Phu commune.
As the project helps Nam Viet ensure sufficient supply of materials forprocessing by itself, the firm can create a competitive edge over itscompetitors and gain higher yields from exports.
Minister Cuong asked the company to continue expanding the project, and orderedlocal authorities to facilitate the implementation of the project.
“If the project is carried out comprehensively, fry and environment issues arenot big problems for the tra fish sector anymore”, he stressed.
On the occasion, Cuong also suggested local businesses invest heavily inintensive processing for high returns, and diversify foreign markets whilepaying more attention to the domestic one which boasts a population of nearly100 million and tens of millions of international visitors each year.
Also, he said that the companies should study eel farming from mud taken fromtra fish breeding ponds as they will make considerable gains from themodel.-VNA
