According to the Directorate of Fisheries, efforts will focus on improving production quality and efficiency, with deep processing playing a key role in extending the value chain and minimizing waste to enhance product value.  

The fisheries sector plans to diversify its farmed species, including eel, tilapia, seaweed, and mollusks. Water resources—particularly reservoirs and river systems—will be fully utilized, while cooperative production models will be promoted to strengthen industry linkages.  

Developing value-added seafood products will be crucial for maintaining and expanding markets. Notably, optimizing seafood by-products presents an opportunity to boost value, advance the circular economy, and reduce environmental impact.
