(Vietnam Fisheries) – Currently, the Vietnam fishermen fishing off Garden facing many difficulties, such as costs rise, extreme weather, and was captured abroad. Especially for Chinese ship arrests, confiscation of property, beatings fishermen. To assist fishermen reach safe sea off sticking to more general solution and the help of national hands. TSVN has an interview with Mr. Tran Cao Staff, General Secretary of Vietnam Fisheries Association around this problem.
Currently, offshore fishermen difficult, he can tell the specific difficulties that?
Speaking of the difficulties of fishermen is very much, especially the offshore fishermen, arduous struggle every surface lacking. Any danger to life and property are always stalking them at any time. But they still have to work harder, as a living spiritual vigor and productive labor. Greater than, they are participants islands protect the sovereignty of the country, the force said Vietnam’s sovereign rights at sea.
For many years, but especially recently, China is increasingly rampant in the South China Sea. In addition to threats, arrests, confiscation of property, beatings fishermen … fishermen when we’re fishing the waters of Vietnam’s sovereignty. More unruly, China also set up so-called Sansha city (including Hoang Sa island district of Da Nang, the Spratly islands in Khanh Hoa province), have advocated the militarization of civilian forces, oh massively to dozens of fishing vessels to the Spratly Islands, Paracel Islands to harness … no small prejudice to the operation of Vietnam fishermen on the waters of this sovereignty.
The difficulty is that Vietnam’s small boats, communications equipment, navigation, exploration machinery … missing fish, most are not equipped or not equipped with sync. Logistics system is still inadequate fisheries, not satisfy the requirements of the production development process. Production chain from production – buying and processing, consumer products, improve product value, reduce post harvest losses are limited, many segments.

Economic difficulties and natural disasters much tribulation, property was looted foreign forces … Fishermen have hard times even more miserable than this, many families empty-handed after the event.
Given the need to fishermen, Vietnam Fisheries Association has move to facilitate assured fishermen work harder?
Along with many social organizations, Fisheries Association of Vietnam always enthusiastic support and encourage members to participate in programs such as Confederation LDVN “mesh of love” to support fishermen in Changsha, Hoang Sa … establishment of cooperative organizations to help each other for the sea, joined the production unions … to creating a united, coordinated help and support each other when things got tough in need accident, natural disaster. Information for each of the fisheries resources in order to improve efficiency, customer service, increase revenue and create more peace of mind, as labor in the production of the sea. Many local train service set up the logistics, help each other guilds in consumer products, advanced value after harvesting.
So far, the effect of the support should look like, sir?
Despite the difficult loss of boats, even their lives, but fishermen still come to Hoang Sa and Truong Sa and exploitation. Although China has many perverse acts, brutal … fishermen in Vietnam will also not consistent, because it just is the only way they survive so they work harder, keep the sovereignty of our islands.
