In the border district of Loc Ninh of Binh Phuoc province, a farmer is quite successful in raising tilapia for sale, with profits far exceeding many other agricultural models in this area.
Binh Phuoc with its terrain mainly consisting of hills and highlands, investing in an aquaculture model that brings good profits may seem unfeasible...
However, in the border district of Loc Ninh (Binh Phuoc province), a farmer is quite successfully raising tilapia for commercial purposes, but the profits are far beyond many other agricultural models in this area.
With an area of less than 300m2 , the average commercial tilapia pond, with two stockings per year, will bring Mr. Nguyen Van Ven in Loc Thien commune, Loc Ninh district no less than 4 tons of fish.
According to calculations, every time he sells farmed tilapia, Mr. Ven spends 1 and gets 1 profit. Specifically, with 4 tons of tilapia, he will have a net profit of about 2 tons; the remaining 2 tons are enough to cover all expenses.
With the average price of farmed tilapia sold at the pond being around 50,000-60,000 VND/kg, the farmer's profit in 1 year is equivalent to 100-120 million VND.
Mr. Ven said that compared to other types of fish, tilapia are easy to raise, have strong resistance so are less susceptible to diseases, and fish food is also common bran available on the market.
Because raising tilapia does not require much effort, even though he is nearly 70 years old, this is still a suitable job for Mr. Nguyen Van Ven, Loc Thien commune, Loc Ninh district, Binh Phuoc province (large photo).
The habitat of this special country fish is not picky. The tilapia can live and grow in many different types of water, from pond water, lake water, and well water pumped into the tank...
These are the advantages when farmers consider and choose to raise commercial tilapia.
Healthy, delicious tilapia are popular with many people.
Another advantage of raising tilapia is that it does not take up much space, only 200-300m2 of land plus enough water source all year round is needed to implement a model with a stable average income of about 10 million VND/month.
At the same time, the care is also very easy, not time-consuming; most importantly, the investment cost is not too high, equivalent to 50 million VND for a 2-ton commercial pond.
Currently, tilapia is a very popular product, the price of tilapia is good, because the fish meat is delicious, sweet and chewy. Therefore, Mr. Ven's model currently does not have enough to supply the consumer market.
“Currently, I sell all the fish I raise. The people in the commune find it delicious, so each person buying a few kilos is not enough to supply. Restaurants and traders also ask a lot, but I don’t have enough capital to invest more to sell. I am digging more ponds to expand this model to increase income,” Mr. Ven added.
With the advantages of raising tilapia that Mr. Ven is implementing, this is a very suitable model to replicate in many other areas in the province, especially for farmers with little capital and small land area to convert livestock and create effective income for farmers.
