Vietnam to boost waterfowl sector
Vietnam plans to increase the meat output of waterfowl by 8-10% a year in coming years, said the Animal Husbandry Department. The waterfowl sector, which breeds mostly ducks, also targets the volume of waterfowl bred by industrial farming to reach 50% by 2015 and 65% by 2020. The country produces 280,000 tonnes of ducks and more than 2 billion duck eggs a year. Nguyen Van Trong, Deputy Head of the department under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD), said the selection and development of breed stocks would be improved. MARD now manages waterfowl purebred stocks and grandparent breed stocks, he said. These are bred at the Hanoi-based Dai Xuyen Duck Research Centre, the Binh Duong Province-based Ben Cat Duck Centre and the Hai Duong Province-based Cam Binh Duck Centre.

Vietnamese Fish processors face raw material shortage
Vietnam’s pangasius exporters require 300,000 MT of raw fish for sufficient processing for the remainder of 2013. However, pangasius production in the Mekong Delta can not satisfy these demands. Only 40 percent out of the 70 total pangasius exporters located in the region sourced fish from their own fish farms. The shrimp sector also faces the same threatening situation. The shrimp supply of the Ca Mau province, home to the shrimp farming of Vietnam, only meets 40 percent of local processors’ demand.
To overcome the shortage, many processors have established their own farming areas while also providing seed and farming techniques to farmers. Relevant authorities additionally plan to guide farmers and processors to build mechanisms that can foster sharing mutual benefits and supporting each other in production.
