HO CHI MINH CITY (Vietnam News/ANN): More and more agriculture and aquaculture businesses are setting up their own farms rather than rely on imports for raw materials.
TH Group has for instance been building a hi-tech dairy cow farm and milk processing plant in An Giang Province since the end of February.
When completed, it will be the largest closed-loop dairy cow farming project in the Mekong delta with around 10,000 cows.
Other dairy companies too have been investing in farms, boosting raw milk production by 12.9 per cent last year to 1.1 million tonnes.
The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) is targeting seafood production improvements in the Asia Pacific region to keep prices affordable and prevent sustainability crises similar to those seen in land agriculture.
According to FAO Director-General Qu Dongyu, fisheries and aquaculture have become even more crucial to global food security after the COVID-19 pandemic and is key to helping the world economy recover.
“We know that land alone will not feed us with abundant quantity and food diversity - we need Blue Transformation to secure Blue Food production, said Qu when addressing 34th session of the FAO Committee on Fisheries earlier this month.
Other Magic Valley ag sectors have gone through historically bleak stretches during the pandemic. But for many in aquaculture, there hasn t been any relief.
