According to VietNamNews, he said that the 2,000ha dedicated to industrialised aquaculture was modest measured against the province’s 200km-long coast and 79,000ha for aquaculture farming.
Industrialised farming was a way to quickly narrow the rich-poor divide, he suggested.
The president asked provincial officials for policies that would help Kien Giang’s farmers during a working session yesterday.
An example was setting floor prices for seafood that would give farmers peace of mind.
