The aquaculture industry plays a vital role in the economy by contributing to the GDP and creating numerous job opportunities. Companies within this sector generate profits for themselves, as well as contribute to the overall development of the local community.

Protect environment

Many aquaculture companies have adopted sustainable farming practices to minimize environmental impact. They utilize advanced technologies to manage waste and protect water while developing eco-friendly farming methods.

Promote research and advancement

Aquaculture companies invest in research and development (R&D) to improve farming techniques and increase production efficiency. They cooperate with research institutes and universities to develop new seafood varieties, effective farming methods and environmental protection solutions.

The role of aquaculture businesses

Apply advanced science and technology

It is crucial for improving the productivity, quality, and efficiency of aquaculture farming by applying advanced science and technologies to production. Aquaculture companies have been investing significantly in researching and applying new technologies to optimize production processes. Some advanced models being utilized in Vietnam include:

• High-tech shrimp farming: Using a water circulation system and automatic technology to control the farming environment and nutrition.
• Intensive pangasius farming: Applying biotechnology and water quality management to increase farming efficiency.
• Open-pen salmon farming: Using a high-tech system combined with an automatic monitor to facilitate the management of the habitat for salmon.

Aquaculture companies have a significant role in investing, researching and applying these new technologies, helping to improve the productivity and quality of aquatic products.

Improve quality, safety, and hygiene of aquaculture product

Improving product quality and ensuring food safety and hygiene are crucial for enhancing Vietnamese seafood’s value and meeting the demands of the international market. Aquaculture companies have implemented quality management systems as well as food safety and hygiene practices, such as:

• HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points): Managing and controlling hazards in the production process.
• GLOBALG.A.P: Global standard for best agricultural practices, ensuring safe and sustainable products.

By applying these standards, aquaculture companies ensure that their products are qualified and safe for consumers.

• Commercial promotion: Strengthening international partnerships and expanding distribution networks.

Thanks to these efforts of aquaculture companies, Vietnamese seafood is increasingly recognized and recommended by the international market.

Cooperate and create an aquaculture value chain

Cooperation and value chain linkage are compulsory in improving seafood production and trading. Some productive value chain cooperation and linkage models in Vietnam include:

• Cooperating with processing enterprises: Creating value-added products and expanding consumption markets.
• Linking with export businesses: Ensuring stable output and developing international markets.

Aquaculture companies play as one of the chains in the whole linkage of Vietnamese aquaculture, optimizing production and processes while enhancing the value of Vietnam’s seafood industry.
