The “picture” of Quang Ninh agriculture currently has many impressive highlights: Aquaculture affirms its core position in the entire agricultural sector; forestry is a field that is considered to have a lot of room for development; livestock and crop farming maintain stability. According to Mr. Do Dinh Minh, Head of the Department of Sea, Islands, Aquaculture and Fisheries Control, the highlight of Quang Ninh aquaculture is the strong structural shift from exploitation to aquaculture.

This is clearly shown when many localities have sea, the starting point of Quang Ninh's fisheries economy is fishing activities, mainly small-scale, coastal fishing. Quang Ninh's fishing fleet used to number tens of thousands of vessels, of which over 90% were small-capacity vessels, not going beyond the coastal and offshore areas.
Since around 2015, the spirit of responsible fishing, fishing associated with resource protection and marine environment protection has been raised. Quang Ninh has strongly restructured the fleet, encouraged the construction of new large ships capable of reaching the sea; stopped granting licenses to build new ships with capacity under 30VC; regulated prohibited occupations and fishing gear in fishing; standardized the fleet, resolutely not allowing "3 no" ships to operate on fishing grounds, strictly handled illegal fishing activities...
Along with solutions for aquatic exploitation, Quang Ninh proactively "stimulates" aquaculture. Accordingly, the province focuses on attracting enterprises to produce aquatic breeds; supporting production interest rates for enterprises investing in priority stages of attracting investment in aquaculture; planning aquaculture areas and aquaculture objects, replicating aquaculture models rich in science and technology; supporting costs for job conversion for aquatic exploitation workers to aquaculture... Most recently, Quang Ninh planned a 45,000ha marine aquaculture area, transferring sea to individuals and organizations for long-term production, not collecting sea transfer fees for households switching from aquatic exploitation to aquaculture...

According to Mr. Nguyen Van Tuan, Director of Phuc Nam Aquaculture Cooperative, the province and other sectors and localities' support and assistance in matters related to production premises, access to loans, support in implementing food safety standards, disease control... is the encouragement and motivation that is very necessary for businesses to operate and develop.
Mr. Ngo Nam Trung, Director of Trung Nam Cooperative, said: As a person participating in aquaculture at sea, everyone has the desire to be assigned water surface for long-term production. Currently, Quang Ninh is strongly promoting the implementation of this content, creating a great resource for us to be determined to stick to the sea and get rich from the sea.
Correct and timely solutions, along with proactive, bold grasp and effective realization have resonated into the result of a strong and positive movement of the fisheries economy of the whole province. Head of the Department of Sea, Islands, Fisheries and Fisheries Control Do Dinh Minh said: If before 1990, aquaculture only accounted for 1-2%, by 2000, aquaculture accounted for less than 10%, but now aquaculture in Quang Ninh has accounted for more than 55% of the fisheries economic structure, with a farming area of over 32,000 hectares, with more than 3,000 farming facilities. The total aquatic product output of Quang Ninh, including both exploitation and aquaculture output, has increased very strongly, from about 70,000 tons/year (in 2010), to nearly 200,000 tons/year; The growth rate of aquaculture in 2024 is 8%, and in 2025 it is expected to increase by double digits. The aquaculture economy, from a weak position in the structure of the entire agricultural sector, has risen to a leading, core position, accounting for about 55% of the economic structure of the entire agricultural sector.

Currently, Quang Ninh's aquaculture is facing new development opportunities. Director of the Department of Agriculture and Environment Nguyen Minh Son analyzed: Just counting the 45,000 hectares of water surface planned for aquaculture, there is room for aquaculture to make a breakthrough. Quang Ninh has held a conference on marine aquaculture, promoted investment in marine aquaculture, and is accelerating the progress of sea allocation to organizations and individuals for production. From here, Quang Ninh is confident in attracting many businesses with real potential to invest in aquaculture in the area. With such a bright picture, Quang Ninh's aquaculture is sure to enter a new stage of development, a stage of concentrated, modern, industrialized and scientific aquaculture production.
