Vietnam and Norway are deepening their collaboration in marine aquaculture, focusing on sustainability and technological progress. Norway, a global leader in the seafood industry, is leveraging its expertise to support Vietnam’s efforts to enhance marine farming practices.
The partnership aims to help Vietnam establish a robust legal framework, improve environmental sustainability, and boost the efficiency of its aquaculture sector. This collaboration underscores the strengthening ties between the two nations and their shared commitment to sustainable marine resource management.
Norway’s aquaculture sector, a significant contributor to its export income, is renowned for its stringent management practices and advanced technologies. Norwegian techniques focus on minimizing antibiotic use, safeguarding animal health, and ensuring high water quality. These practices include careful site selection, rigorous environmental monitoring, and proactive disease management.
Vietnam is actively developing its marine farming, particularly in seaweed cultivation. The partnership with Norway is expected to enhance the quality of Vietnam’s seafood, aligning with the country’s new plan for sustainable marine management.
Norway’s plans to develop its coastal areas for marine use support this joint effort, promising growth and sustainability for both countries’ aquaculture sectors. The upcoming Vietnam International Fisheries Exhibition in Ho Chi Minh City will showcase these developments and further strengthen business ties between the two nations.
