This Strategy for Development of Vietnam’s Fisheries by 2030 with Vision towards 2045 is a sectoral policy document at national level. The general goals to be achieved by 2030 include: Developing the fishery industry into an important national economic sector, producing a large output of goods associated with industrialization - modernization, sustainable development and proactive adaptation to climate change; having reasonable production structures and models, ensuring high productivity, quality and efficiency; having a prestigious brand name, competitiveness and international integration; constantly improving the people's material and spiritual life, ensuring social security.
Several main goals to be obtained by 2030 are identified: a) Rate of growth in the value of fishery products is expected to reach 3.0% - 4.0 %/year. b) The total output of domestic fishery products is expected to reach 9.8 million tonnes; including, aquaculture production is expected to reach 7.0 million tonnes, and the fishing output is expected to reach 2.8 million tonnes. c) The fishery export turnover will reach USD 14 – 16 billion. d) Creating jobs for over 3.5 million workers with per capita income of fishery workers equivalent to the average income of workers nationwide.

Increasing growth, quality, added value, and efficiency through extensive international integration and responsible development in the direction of a circular economy; (2) To step up the industrialization and modernization of the fishery in a market-driven, environmentally sustainable manner, in order to protect, restore, and improve marine resources while also conserving biodiversity; to respond to climate change; and to ensure disease control, ecological safety, and social security.
