(Baonghean.vn) - On the morning of November 30th, in Quynh Luu district, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development organized a conference to discuss solutions for biosafety-compliant shrimp farming and sustainable development for shrimp farmers.

Comrade Tran Huu Tien, Deputy Director of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, chaired the conference. Attending the conference were leaders from the Fisheries and Veterinary Sub-Department, the Provincial Agricultural Extension Center, the agricultural departments of Quynh Luu, Hoang Mai, and Dien Chau districts, shrimp seed production units, and a number of shrimp farmers in the area.

The conference was held in Cau Giat Town, Quynh Luu District.

The conference summarized the work on biosecure shrimp farming and pointed out the causes of existing shortcomings in the shrimp farming process.

After more than a year of implementing 7 shrimp farming models in 3 localities: Quynh Luu, Hoang Mai, and Dien Chau, covering an area of ​​240 hectares, following VietGAP procedures, the shrimp yield reached 4.9 tons/ha/crop, an increase of 1 ton/ha/crop compared to shrimp farming outside VietGAP areas. However, the project is still continuing to monitor and guide shrimp farmers to implement more scientific methods to achieve even higher shrimp yields.

Comrade Tran Huu Tien, Deputy Director of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, chaired the meeting.

At the conference, shrimp farmers raised issues such as whether or not to use antibiotics in shrimp farming; how to identify the age of shrimp larvae; and how to ferment probiotics...

Mr. Truong Hong Quang, a shrimp farmer from Quynh Bang commune, shared his thoughts at the conference.

The opinions of shrimp farmers were specifically addressed by representatives of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development.
