The industry, which is expected to reach export revenue of $4.5 billion (\u20ac3.3 billion) by that time, will employ 2.1 million labourers.<\/p>\n
The main seafood breeding species in the region will include sugpo prawn, white-leg shrimp, tra (pangasius), tilapia, slams, butterfish, featherback, goby, sweet snail and abalone.<\/p>\n
The delta will apply extensive farming cultivation methods to breed sugpo prawn and slams, while breeding of white-leg shrimp and tra will follow an intensive cultivation method.<\/p>\n
The remaining species would be cultivated following extensive farming, semi-intensive farming and intensive farming techniques, the ministry said.<\/p>\n
To meet the target, each province in the delta is required to re-organise its seafood production system in co-operatives and associations to link partners involved in the seafood value chain, which includes breeders, processors and exporters.<\/p>\n
Provinces will intensify the training of human resources and adjust irrigation planning to serve agricultural development in rural areas.<\/p>\n
The delta will also speed up construction progress on infrastructure projects and focus on developing the processing industry to raise product value.<\/p>\n
