On the salty, windswept tidal flats of Nghe An province, the clam harvesting season begins again. From low tide, people are busy clinging to the tidal flats, diligently gathering baskets of clams. Clam farming not only provides a stable livelihood but also helps to awaken the potential of "sea farming" in the coastal region...

In recent years, clam harvesting machines have been introduced, increasing productivity in deep-water areas. However, this method is only suitable for certain areas where the tide has not yet receded. Therefore, people still mainly harvest clams manually. Photo: TP

Mr. Nguyen Van Hoang, owner of a 15-hectare clam farm in Van Hai, happily reported that this season, each hectare yielded 15-18 tons of clams. With high production and good prices, he mobilized additional manpower to speed up the harvesting process. “Now that it’s the hot season, demand is strong, so I’ve mobilized nearly 30 workers to harvest clams along the tidal flats,” Mr. Hoang said excitedly.

Mr. Ho Xuan Ninh – Chairman of the Farmers' Association of Van Hai commune (Quynh Luu district) said: “The entire commune currently has about 80 hectares of clam farming with 20 households involved. The clams are purchased by traders and sold throughout the country. Many households here have escaped poverty and become well-off thanks to clam farming. Besides that, clam farming also creates jobs for many local laborers.” Photo: TP
