Aquaculture Insurance: A Shield for Vietnamese Farmers

“Trading fish for tigers” – this old Vietnamese saying highlights the inherent risks of aquaculture. Given the potential dangers, having insurance protection for ponds, shrimp, and fish is essential. What is aquaculture insurance, and what are its benefits? Let’s delve in with XE TẢI HÀ NỘI!

Aquaculture Insurance – A Lifeline for Farmers Facing Natural Disasters and Disease

Aquaculture insurance, like other aquaculture support policies, is a crucial financial tool. It helps mitigate risks for farmers engaged in agricultural production, specifically in aquaculture. Mr. Nguyen Van Nam, an agricultural expert at the Northern Aquaculture Research Institute and author of “Business Financial Management,” states: “Insurance is the golden key that helps farmers produce with peace of mind, overcome difficulties, and gradually prosper.”

Common Risks in Aquaculture

Aquaculture faces numerous challenges. Besides increasingly complex climate change and unpredictable disease outbreaks, fluctuating market prices also contribute to farmers’ anxieties.

The story of Mr. Nguyen Van A, from Ngu Hiep Commune, Thanh Tri District, Hanoi, is a prime example. After three months of raising fish, just before harvest, a sudden disease outbreak wiped out his entire pond. His investment and hard work were lost. Fortunately, Mr. A had insurance. He received compensation to cover his debts and reinvest in the next season.

Benefits of Aquaculture Insurance

Participating in aquaculture insurance provides the following benefits:

• Financial Risk Mitigation: In the event of unforeseen circumstances, farmers receive compensation for partial or total losses, stabilizing production and livelihood.
• Confident Investment and Expansion: Without the fear of losing everything, farmers can confidently apply new technologies, improve productivity, and enhance product quality.
• Contribution to Sustainable Aquaculture Development: Insurance encourages farmers to continue working in aquaculture, contributing to the overall development of the industry and the national economy.
