Vietnam's fish farms on the rise

Vietnam's fisheries sector will increase its fish farms to 1.2m hectares, producing as much as 4.5m tonnes a year and reaching an annual growth rate of 5.2 percent by 2050, reports the Communist Party of Vietnam.

The plan was announced at a conference on development plans for aquaculture for 2020, with a vision to 2030, held by the General Department of Fisheries, in Hanoi on May 18. 

The sector also set a target of earning an annual export revenue of between 7 to 7.5 billion USD, a rise of almost 7.5 percent annually, and will employ about 3.5 million workers.
