Vietnam has grown into one of the largest exporters of aquaculture products in the world. Especially fish species such as pangasius and tilapia are commonly farmed in Vietnam and exported. The production and export of shrimps is however also increasing fast. In Myanmar, the aquaculture sector is less developed, but it has a lot of protentional to develop and grow in the coming years.
In addition, production is fragmented across many smallholders increasing the complexity of developing a strong and stable value chain. Since 2010 Fresh Studio has worked to enhance the production and handling of aquaculture species. Often starting with small-scale applied research and development, leading into pilots to test and introduce innovations on a commercial scale.
Đội ngũ chuyên gia giàu kinh nghiệm của chúng tôi làm việc cùng người nuôi trồng thủy sản, nhà cung cấp thức ăn cho cá và các nhà cung cấp công nghệ khác để cải tiến các phương pháp sản xuất hiện hữu, giới thiệu công nghệ mới và hỗ trợ người nuôi trồng thủy sản đáp ứng yêu cầu của thị trường về sản xuất bền vững, an toàn thực phẩm, chất lượng sản phẩm và sản lượng.
Mặc dù nhiều sản phẩm nuôi trồng thủy sản Việt Nam đã và đang được xuất khẩu đến nhiều thị trường quốc tế; vẫn còn nhiều dư địa để hướng đến sản xuất thủy sản bền vững hơn, thích ứng với biến đổi khí hậu và tuân thủ các tiêu chuẩn an toàn thực phẩm. Tương tự như nông dân trồng rau quả, nông dân nuôi trồng thủy sản rất mong muốn đáp ứng nhu cầu ngày càng tăng này, nhưng thường thiếu khả năng tiếp cận kiến thức, tài chính và phương tiện kỹ thuật để cung cấp một cách nhất quán các tiêu chuẩn cần thiết.

By 2050, aquaculture production will need to grow by another 70 million tonnes to meet the world’s seafood demand. The consumption and dependency on seafood for well-being has never been this high. Aquaculture presents a significant opportunity to enhance food security. Vietnam, the fourth largest aquaculture producer in the world, has demonstrated its potential, but the emergence of the aquaculture sector raises major concerns in the country. The role of entrepreneurs will be the key to creating necessary innovations for a sustainable aquaculture sector.
However, to realize ambitions and innovations for the sector, access to finance and capital is critically important. Finding bright minds and enabling them to realize their ambition by connecting them to finance and capital is the main target of the Aquaculture Innovation Challenge.
Willem Schoustra, project manager for Blue Growth at the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs said,
“Aquaculture has an enormous potential as a source of animal protein. There is one condition: we must reach this potential in a sustainable way! The Dutch government is continuously exploring how to contribute best to the development of a sustainable aquaculture sector around the world. The Aquaculture Innovation Challenge is an opportunity to bring together innovation and finance to achieve this goal.”
