Leaders of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development report on the progress of implementing Decree 67

The implementation process encountered some difficulties and problems such as in selecting fishing boat designs, steel-hulled boats had 21 designs but they were not suitable for the reality of production at sea; especially for the fishing profession, most of the boat owners had to adjust the design or redesign. The boat owners had difficulty in building production plans, debt repayment plans, lack of counterpart funds, short repayment period (for steel-hulled boats), most of the boat owners could hardly repay the debt. In addition, the organization of establishing production teams at sea in communes and wards was slow, and the lack of determination in guidance and direction affected the implementation process.
