The shrimp farming area of ​​the whole province reached 417,922 hectares and currently there are 89 seafood processing factories for export (including 109 factories, enterprises, workshops) with a total designed capacity of about 550,000 tons/year. The fight against IUU fishing continues to be effectively controlled, 100% of fishing vessels with a length of 15m or more have been installed and maintained connected to the voyage monitoring device (VMS).

In the field of collective economic development, linkage chains continue to be expanded in key industries: shrimp industry with a linkage area of ​​37,324 hectares; crab industry forming linkage chains between enterprises, cooperatives and farmers; 30 cooperatives participating in the rice linkage chain; maintaining linkages in production and consumption of wood products; and developing pig farming for export.
In addition to the achieved results, the report noted some difficulties in business capacity, value chain linkage and export standards of some products. Therefore, the Department recommends continuing to support trade promotion, taking advantage of opportunities from FTAs, reducing procedural barriers and prioritizing resources to build a digital map of the agricultural sector to improve competitiveness and expand export markets for key products of the province in the coming time./.
