The weather still has certain fluctuations, diseases such as blue ear, foot and mouth disease, African swine fever, bird flu… are still at great risk. Therefore, epidemics can overlap with the effects of storms. Therefore, hygiene and disease prevention and biosecurity must be given top priority. This is both a post-storm task and a requirement for a solution system in livestock farming.

Vice Chairman of Hai Phong City People’s Committee Nguyen Duc Tho hopes that the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development will have orientation and guidance for localities to have processes and infrastructure to respond to harsh natural disasters, typically with level 17 storm. Accordingly, what conditions, standards, technology… are needed for farms, cages… built in places with great risk of natural disasters?

Mr. Nguyen Duc Tho also requested the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development to continue researching policies to propose the Government support people after natural disasters, so that people can rest assured to restore production.

Damage to cold water fish farming in some provinces such as Lao Cai, Yen Bai, Son La. Estimated damage to aquaculture due to storm No. 3 and floods after the storm is about 6,180 billion VND.

To restore production soon, Mr. Tran Dinh Luan requested that, in the immediate future, localities organize monitoring and supervision of the aquaculture environment in areas affected by storms, promptly informing people about water quality for aquaculture, ensuring people restore production soon. The locality connects businesses that produce shrimp seeds, feed, environmental treatment products, supplies and equipment for aquaculture to supply or support the restoration of production in damaged areas. .

Professional staff train, propagate and guide people to clean the environment, prepare ponds and cages, and be ready to release seeds when conditions allow.

In the long term, Mr. Tran Dinh Luan said that localities need to review concentrated farming areas and invest in infrastructure to meet the requirements of natural disaster prevention, limiting damage and restoring production. Provinces and cities reorganize production in the direction of linkage, access to new technology, modern technology, large scale and closed chain. Be especially determined to relocate farming facilities out of high-risk areas affected by natural disasters, storms, floods, and environmental fluctuations.

The Department of Fisheries contacts and connects with businesses that produce materials for making cages, breeds, food, environmental treatment products, supplies and equipment for aquaculture to provide or support Support to restore production in damaged areas.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development has also called on organizations and businesses to donate about 90 billion VND to the livestock sector.

According to Mr. Pham Kim Dang, localities need to proactively develop livestock recovery plans; have a plan to provide seeds, food, and input materials for production; Reinforce barns to restore and develop clothing production suitable to local conditions. Localities develop plans for livestock breed needs and have plans to receive breeds to provide to breeders when receiving breed support. In particular, develop a scenario for the supply of 1-day-old poultry breeds to support localities in restoring livestock production.

To restore production successfully and effectively, Mr. Nguyen Van Long, Director of the Department of Animal Health requested localities to organize general cleaning, disinfection, and disinfection immediately after the rain and flood period ends to eliminate kill pathogens in the environment.

Sharing at the conference, Mr. Ngo Hung Dung, Director of Tan An Seafood Joint Stock Company, said that in decades of investing in aquaculture, he has never seen a storm cause as much damage as Storm No. 3. (Yagi). Nearly 4,000 tons of oysters are almost ready to be harvested, but there are none left. The business could not find anything at sea. Not only at sea, businesses with 2 farming facilities on the mainland were also completely damaged.

After repairing the housing and living quarters for officials, the company continues to restore the electrical system and infrastructure, then consider a plan to restore production. The difficulty for businesses is that even if they want to hire workers who pay 2-2.5 million/day, they cannot find workers.

According to Mr. Ngo Hung Dung, winter is approaching. If aquaculture is slow, the growth potential of livestock is almost non-existent. If you cannot take advantage of this time to reproduce, the risks and losses will be greater. The company has also received sharing and encouragement from aquaculture material suppliers.

Mr. Ngo Hung Dung also recommended that the authorities need to quickly support the people; Quickly bring short-term farming species to the people to create a livelihood as soon as possible, such as seaweed, oysters, or some types of short-term sea fish.

Deputy Minister Phung Duc Tien highly appreciated the support of organizations, individuals and businesses. This is not only sharing and social responsibility but also the enterprise’s market share in production and business activities. With the efforts of the entire political, social and agricultural system, we will soon overcome difficulties to reach the finish line and complete the goals assigned by the Prime Minister.
