1. DeltaVax: Transforming the Mekong Delta Pangasius Chain<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Fresh Studio is excited to introduce the DeltaVax project, a groundbreaking initiative aimed at revolutionizing the pangasius and broader aquaculture sector in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. The DeltaVax project is funded by the Impact Clusters subsidy scheme from the Netherlands, which aims to develop the private sector in developing countries.<\/p>\n

Under the Impact Cluster program, knowledge, expertise and technology from Dutch or international companies, knowledge institutes, trade organisations and NGOs are brought together in a consortium (cluster). The objective of the Impact Cluster program is to facilitate the development and growth of the private sector in developing countries while ensuring inclusive and sustainable economic growth and a decent standard of work for all.<\/p>\n

DeltaVax features a consortium of esteemed Dutch, Vietnamese, and international partners, including Fresh Studio, PHARMAQ, Can Tho University, De Heus, Alpha Aqua, and Kytos.<\/p>\n

2. Project Summary<\/h2>\n

The DeltaVax project seeks to significantly enhance the knowledge, skills, and technology access within Vietnam’s aquaculture sector. The primary goals include:<\/p>\n

Capacity Building:<\/strong> Establish a “train the trainers” program, alongside a coaching service, to elevate the expertise of Vietnamese farmers, equipping them with the necessary skills for modern aquaculture practices.<\/p>\n

Technological Access:<\/strong> Facilitate Vietnamese farmers’ access to cutting-edge technologies such as aquatic vaccines, qPCR disease diagnostic tools, and advanced water treatment solutions.<\/p>\n

Innovation and Sustainability:<\/strong> Introduce groundbreaking technologies like Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) to foster sustainable aquaculture practices.<\/p>\n

Fish Health and Welfare:<\/strong> Enhance vaccination practices within the sector to reduce disease prevalence and curtail the reliance on chemicals and antibiotics.<\/p>\n

3. Key Activities<\/h2>\n

To achieve our objectives, the following key activities will be undertaken:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u00a0Conduct a comprehensive farm survey to produce an industry status and environmental impact report for the pangasius sector.<\/li>\n
  2. \u00a0Develop and implement a practical, detailed training program designed for 25 extension workers.<\/li>\n
  3. \u00a0Empower these extension workers to provide training, coaching, and monitoring services to 750 farmers across the Mekong Delta.<\/li>\n
  4. \u00a0Demonstrate the effectiveness of technologies like vaccines, qPCR tools, and water analysis solutions on strategic farms in the region.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    4.\u00a0Expected Outcomes<\/h2>\n

    DeltaVax is poised to create a significant impact, with the following expected results:<\/strong><\/p>\n
