A major outcome of the Danish Trade Delegation in the celebration of the 40th year anniversary of diplomatic relations between Denmark and Vietnam is the decision to push further the establishment of a Danish Vietnamese Aquaculture Technology Centre VIDATEC.
During the five-day visit by the Danish Crown Prince to Vietnam at
the invitation of Vice President Doan, members of the VIDATEC took the
opportunity to identify primary goals of the new cooperation at a
meeting at VASEP in Ho Chi Minh City. VIDATEC has been formed to
transfer new technology from Danish aquaculture technology suppliers to
the Vietnamese aquaculture industry. Chairman of AquaCircle (The Organisation of Danish Aquaculture
Technology Suppliers) Mr. Jacob Bregnballe said that the strengthening
of commercial ties, especially in the areas of green growth, energy
efficiency and environmentally friendly production was very well in line
with the overall dialogue between the two countries. The General
Secretary of VASEP Mr. Truong Dinh Hoe confirmed that there is an
increased need and also an increased readiness among the Vietnamese fish
farmers to adapt the technologies and harvest the increases in
production, sustainability and food security. The VIDATEC is expected to play a major role in establishing strong
green partnerships between companies in aquaculture, and to set the
framework for future development in the sector. The first area in focus
will be the pangasius farming to develop a greener and more sustainable
sector for the benefit of both producers and the environment. The
pangasius industry has reached a new stage in development where focus on
optimisation and quality growth will be key parameters.
