(VOVworld)-Dozens of fishing boats in Khanh Hoa province began their new year fishing session in Truong Sa. They have recharged the boats with fuel and food to prepare for a month long fishing trip.

Fishing boats in other central provinces have started their crop in Truong Sa. Nguyen Van Sanh is a fisherman in Binh Dinh province:  “We expect more State support for fishermen this year so that we manage to go fishing at the high sea up to several hundred nautical miles offshore.”

Do Trung Hiep is the manager of Hon Ro port in Nha Trang City said the State subsidies in gasoline and telecom equipment have enabled fishermen to improve their productivity: “We wish to have a bumper crop and fish could sell at higher price. The local port has been upgraded to ensure sufficient logistic services for the fishing industry.
