From 2013 to 2023, the aquaculture area of Quang Ninh province increased by about 1.5 times (from 21,425 hectares to 32,092 hectares). Total aquaculture output increased by about 2 times (from 88,984 tons to 175,324 tons). Quang Ninh province has calculated the expected demand for industrial feed for aquaculture products of over 40,000 tons/year. However, in the province, there are currently only 2 aquatic feed ingredient production facilities that have been granted a certificate of eligibility for production by the Department of Fisheries with an output of 174,000 tons in 2023 and 74,958 tons in the first 5 months of 2024.
