The south-central fishing centre, which is to be built in the centralcoastal province of Khanh Hoa, is expected to play a crucial role instrengthening links among regional seafood businesses.
According to the national strategy for fisheries development throughto 2020, Vietnam will set up five fishing centres in major areas,including the south-central coastal region – covering Khanh Hoa, BinhDinh, Phu Yen, Ninh Thuan and Binh Thuan provinces.
The centre will cover 46 hectares at Da Bac fishing port in Khanh Hoa’sCam Ranh city, serving the south-central and Truong Sa (Spartly) fishinggrounds.
From now to 2018, the project, worth over1.5 trillion VND (72 million USD), will encompass infrastructurebuilding, seaport expansion, route upgrades to the centre andconstruction of a separate harbour for tuna fishing boats and workshopsto repair fishing vessels.
The deep-water port at DaBac is not the biggest and most modern of its kind in Khanh Hoaprovince, but was chosen to house the fishing centre because of itsproximity to international trade ports.
Khanh Hoaprovince in general has favourable geography and strong capacity toattract human and financial resources, increase the added value ofaquatic products, and develop seafood along with national sea and islanddefence and security, according to the Ministry of Agriculture andRural Development.
It is vital to establish such acentre to forge links between provinces towards sustainable fisheriesdevelopment, experts said, illustrating the planned joint tunaproduction project conducted by Binh Dinh, Phu Yen, and Khanh Hoaprovinces.
Under this project, the trio will set up atuna trade centre in Khanh Hoa province, which is expected to helpfishermen sell their products to both domestic and foreign businesses.
The People’s Committee of Khanh Hoa province is calling on Japanese investors to expand Da Bac fishing port.
Even when the fishing centre takes shape, the province still wantsJapanese firms to invest more in the local markets, cold preservationstorage, fuel services, hi-tech shipbuilding factories and seafoodsorting and processing facilities, local authorities said.-VNA
