Ninh Binh (VNA) – Clam farms in Kim Son district, the northern province of Ninh Binh, received the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) certificate at a ceremony on November 29.
Tran Van Bach, Deputy Director of the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, said Ninh Binh has a coastline of more than 18.5km, all within the administrative boundary of Kim Son district. The district is home to over 1,200 hectares of clam farms, with an annual output of nearly 30,000 tonnes.

Its farm standards set strict requirements for responsible aquaculture that encourage seafood producers to minimise the environmental and social impacts of aquaculture.
The certification will be a great opportunity for local farmers to stabilise production, said Director of Kim Son Clam Cooperative Pham Van Quang, promising that the cooperative will seriously observe regulations to ensure the quality of clams for export./.
