Risks associated with interrupting the shrimp supply chain in Ca Mau

(VAN) Ca Mau province is attempting to manage the issue by tightening the border circle and creating the best possible circumstances for local production in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic uncertainty.
 

The Ca Mau authorities expressed this view at the forum's first session on "Agricultural production and consumption."

According to Le Van Su, chairman of the Ca Mau Provincial People's Committee, the danger of interrupting the shrimp supply chain may stem from the Covid-19 infection in the supply chain, drivers, and shippers... Occasionally, the province is forced to implement new management measures, which have a significant effect on production operations and have even crushed the processing and export industries.

Ca Mau province said that through linking supply and demand, and with the assistance of provinces, particularly Working Group 970, the province consumed a specific quantity of agricultural goods totaling 4,000 tons. It is claimed that the forum facilitates the production and consumption of agricultural goods. However, agricultural goods consumed are still little in comparison to the quantity generated by farmers.

“As a result, we must increase our efforts in the future. Generally, problems have an effect on the product's production. We can determine the magnitude of this impact by examining the output price. For instance, the price of Ca Mau shrimp decreased from VND 8,000 to VND 23,000 per kg. Prices of white-leg shrimp also decreased significantly. Farmers are only able to break even, if not lose. Certain assertions that the shrimp manufacturing chain is disrupted are supported by evidence, "added Su, expressing worry.

The authorities said that the mainland has an effect on seafood exploitation. Fresh squid and dried squid of all varieties are 30% discount. While the price of fish sold in markets dropped by 20% to 29%. From this vantage point, we can see how the epidemic is wreaking havoc on people's lives.

Su said that Ca Mau province prioritizes pandemic prevention while establishing production conditions based on current developments.

Su said that the first stage of the issue, particularly the linkage of agricultural goods, may still be unclear and requires the assistance of companies and state authorities.

“We advocate for the frequent organizing of forums such as the one held today. We are still doing our best within the confines of local duty and capability. Proposing that the State Bank adopt tougher policies aimed at assisting individuals via business. When companies are encouraged, they retain ties to farmers and prevent disrupting the supply chain, "added Su.

Recognizing the Ca Mau authority's concept, Minister of MARD LE Minh Hoan stated that although the farmer may decide on connection activities, the government and business must work together to establish and harmonize the circumstances.

“The local CDC should consult with companies to develop a strategy that addresses both health and production and business," Minister Le Minh Hoan stated.
