Opening direction for economic development of Quynh Luu sea

Overcoming infrastructure shortcomings

With a coastline of 34 km, there are more than 1,300 fishing vessels, including many large offshore fishing vessels. However, the current fishing infrastructure in Quynh Luu is like a shirt that is too tight for a strong, growing body. The most pressing issue is still the anchorage for fishermen's boats after each trip.

For example, Lach Quen port is the anchorage for boats from Tien Thuy, An Hoa, Quynh Nghia, Quynh Long communes... even boats from other provinces such as Quang Ninh, Hai Phong, Da Nang sometimes also dock here, with a total of over 1,000 boats. But currently, the port is silted up, only accommodating about 500 boats. Large boats wanting to enter the port must wait for the tide level to peak, causing many difficulties for fishermen, especially affecting the quality of products. On shore, service facilities for gasoline, ice, cold storage, and shops serving necessities are also fragmented and cramped.

Lach Quen fishing port will be upgraded to a class 1 fishing port, meeting the needs of over 1,000 boats docking.

During a working trip to Quynh Luu and on-site inspection, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee requested the leaders of Quynh Luu district to do a good job in planning infrastructure for fisheries. In the immediate future, focus on investing in renovating Lach Quen fishing port to create favorable conditions for fishermen's boats to dock. In addition, the district also needs to speed up the construction of a concentrated seafood processing area and fishing logistics services at Lach Quen port, Quynh Thuan commune, with a planned area of ​​30 hectares and a total investment cost of 373 billion VND.

To support Quynh Luu, Mr. Tran Huu Tien - Deputy Director of Nghe An Department of Agriculture and Rural Development said: The sectors are also accompanying and finding capital sources to help Quynh Luu speed up the project of upgrading and renovating Lach Quen port into a type 1 fishing port.

Thus, in the near future, along with the upgraded Lach Quen fishing port, a large-scale fishing logistics service area will be formed, creating a solid "rear", helping fishermen feel secure going out to sea.

Along with the infrastructure serving the fishing industry, Quynh Luu will also upgrade the traffic infrastructure to take advantage of sea tourism with the coastal areas of Quynh Bang and Quynh Nghia communes... Mr. Hoang Danh Lai - Chairman of the People's Committee of Quynh Luu district said: The district will focus on investing in building roads to the beach, and the restaurant and resort system will call on Quynh Luu children to invest. Currently, there is a resort "Rubystar Resort Bien Quynh" invested in by the private sector, quite spacious and put into operation.

Promote the application of science and technology

In addition to investing in upgrading infrastructure, at the meeting with leaders of Quynh Luu district, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee also emphasized the application of science and technology in farming and processing to increase product value and increase people's income.

Currently, in addition to traditional aquaculture and seafood processing facilities, Quynh Luu is also actively calling for investors to invest in new technologies in large-scale production and processing in Quynh Luu. Typically, the Vietnam - Australia Shrimp Group has invested in a shrimp seed production facility in Quynh Luu with an area of ​​2 hectares, producing 2 billion shrimp seeds each year, creating jobs for 200 workers, with an average income of 10 million VND/month.

Mr. Dang Quoc Tuan - Vice President of the Vietnam - Australia shrimp group said: Currently, Vietnam is ranked 3rd in shrimp export in the world, the turnover can reach 8-10 billion USD/year, by 2025, Vietnam can become the largest shrimp production factory in the world. The demand for shrimp seeds is increasing, the North Central region alone has a demand of about 56 billion seeds/year. Grasping the advantage of good natural conditions, we decided to invest in a high-quality shrimp seed production facility in Quynh Luu, with the desire to turn Nghe An into the shrimp seed center of the North Central region. To do so, we must cooperate with institutes, schools, and apply science to the production process to increase the value of shrimp. From the initial success, the company is looking to expand by 8 hectares to increase the production scale.

After the actual inspection, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee agreed with the company's expansion plan. The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee also praised the investor for investing in high-tech production, creating many jobs, increasing the value of aquatic and agricultural products in the locality, helping the local economy develop, and improving people's lives.

Not only the Vietnam - Australia Shrimp Breeding Company, currently in Quynh Luu there are also many investors who have boldly invested in technology in the process of farming and processing aquatic products, seafood, pharmaceuticals... with high quality and value such as HIDUMI Pharma Green Science Joint Stock Company located in Quynh Luong commune. Currently, the company has produced products such as spirulina, cordyceps... these are products with complex farming technology, the company has cooperated with the Institute of Biotechnology (Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology) to support this unit in terms of breeding as well as production process.

Therefore, Quynh Luu is also the point where the Department of Science and Technology focuses on prioritizing scientific and technological applications, such as spirulina farming, a ministerial-level project, research cooperation between the Ministry of Science of Vietnam and Germany, a fish farming project using high-tech formulas from the US, with a yield of 25 tons/ha; shrimp farming using new technology; deer antler production and processing... Mr. Thanh also commented that, with such strong development, it can be said that currently in the field of aquaculture, fishing, and seafood processing in Quynh Luu, it can be called the seafood industry.

When the infrastructure is upgraded synchronously, the potential and advantages of Quynh Luu will become a new attraction, attracting investors, creating premises and conditions for the local fisheries economy to develop in the new period, successfully implementing the goal that the Resolution of the 27th District Party Congress, term 2015-2020 determined: marine economy is a key economic sector.
