Visit Khanh Yen to see winter carp release

Khanh Yen commune has just released carp into the fields after harvesting the winter-spring rice crop.

This is the first step to gradually bring the formula of spring rice cultivation + summer rice + winter carp farming into local production, contributing to increasing the production value per hectare of cultivation to 150 million/ha/year or more, at the same time creating jobs for farmers during the off-season, increasing people's income, gradually changing people's awareness in converting the structure of crops and livestock, and intensifying the number of crops.

Fish fry are purchased at fish farms in Lao Cai province, weighing from 1 - 1.5 kg/fish.

Fish are released between late September and October (after the rice harvest), depending on whether the fish are planned to be harvested before or after the Lunar New Year.

Fish were released into more than 10 hectares of rice fields with active water inflow and outflow, in the villages of Phat Cuom, Sung 1, Sung 2, Lang 1, Lang 2, Bo, Bo 1, Bo 2, Giang...

After 3 months of releasing the fish into the field, the fish can be harvested. When harvested, the fish weight reaches 1.5 - 2 kg/fish. The quality of the carp released in the field is considered different: crispy, chewy, sweet, fragrant... very popular in the market.

Khanh Yen expects to harvest about 30 tons of commercial carp raised in this winter crop. Commercial carp will be consumed mainly in the provincial market, with an expected selling price of 75,000 VND/kg or more.
