According to some fish farmers in Hai Duong city, Tu Ky district, Gia Loc district..., fish prices are currently low. On June 24, tilapia weighing 2.5 kg/fish was priced at 33,000 VND/kg, grass carp weighing 4-5 kg/fish was priced at 50,000-52,000 VND/kg, carp weighing 3 kg/fish was priced at 40,000-42,000 VND/kg, all down 5,000-10,000 VND/kg compared to the same period last year.
With this selling price, aquaculture farmers only make a profit of 3,000 VND/kg of fish, many households break even, or even suffer losses if there are many losses during the farming process or the fish get sick.
Due to low fish prices, some households are raising fish sparingly, while others are abandoning their ponds to avoid losses.
According to households, the reason for the low fish prices is that they have to go through many intermediaries, increasing the retail price but reducing the purchase price at the pond. In addition, the supply of food such as chicken, shrimp, and pork on the market is quite abundant, causing the demand for fish to decrease, thereby pulling the prices down.
