The province plans to exploit the potential and take full advantage to develop the aquaculture sustainably and effectively in accordance with the provincial features, proactively adapt to climate change, carry out further research on science and technology application to increase output, quality, value, and competitiveness, thus satisfy requirements of the local market and exporting countries.

Besides, the province will invest into and improve infrastructure to meet requirements of production in centralized aquaculture areas. A chain of supply and consumption of farmed species will be built.

The output of aquaculture is expected to reach 470,000 tons by 2025 with an average growth rate of 2.15%/year, and 570,000 tons by 2030 with an average growth rate of 3.93%/year.
