Many localities in the Mekong Delta are currently undergoing social distancing according to Directive No.16 of the Prime Minister, so trade activities of seafood products encounter difficulties, dragging prices down, causing many fishing boats to operate ineffectively. Besides, the fishing grounds are increasingly depleted, and oil prices are at a high level, so many fishing boats have decided to temporarily stop going to sea.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD), on June 10, held an online conference on solutions to improve the efficiency of fishing, processing, and consuming aquatic products in 2021.

These days, along the Cai Be River to the Ba Lich Rivulet, the section through Vinh Hoa Hiep, Vinh Hoa Phu and Binh An communes in Chau Thanh District in Kien Giang Province, several offshore fishing vessels are mooring here although it is the main fishing season of the year. The owners of these fishing vessels said that since the beginning of this year, lots of them were not able to head for the open sea due to losses.
