Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development held a regular press conference in Hanoi on August 5 reviewing results of work in July and key tasks in August and the last months of this year.
According to Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, the export of products such as coffee, rubber, rice and cassava faced difficulties in July.
The agro-fishery-forestry sector gained 2.47 billion USD from export in July, decreasing by 11% over the previous month, and 9% from the same month last year.
Deputy Director of the Ministry’s Directorate of Fisheries Pham Anh Tuan said the shrimp output fell in July and attributed the reduction to unfavourable natural conditions, including salt intrusion increases in February, March and April.
Shrimp exports are lower than the same period last year due to weak purchasing power, Tuan added.
From now to the end of this year, the agency aims to promote extensive tiger prawn farming to lower production costs and raise product quality to enhance competitiveness, Tuan said.
In the long term, the Directorate will promote the prawn-rice and prawn-forest production approaches with application of technology to ensure the sustainable development of the sector.
The Ministry aims to address difficulties facing agro-fishery-forestry production in a bid to boost export in the last months of this year.
It will be the basis for expanding export markets for other agricultural products, Deputy Director Tuan stated.
