Removing obstacles for cage fish farmers.

Along the Thai Binh River and Kinh Thay Canal, passing through Hai Duong ward and Hop Tien commune (Hai Phong), there are thousands of aquaculture cages, and many households are facing economic challenges in preserving their livelihoods.

Hop Tien commune has dozens of households raising fish in cages on the river.

In recent years, oversupply has made it difficult for fish cage farmers to sell their products.

Ms. Vu Thi Nu's family (Hop Tien commune) has more than 50 cages for raising crispy carp, with daily feed costs reaching tens of millions of VND. The fish take nearly a year to harvest, but with a selling price of 80,000 – 120,000 VND/kg, after deducting expenses, the profit is almost negligible.

Besides animal feed, households also have to spend money on hiring people to mow the grass for the fish.
