Forest area will be increased to 293,250 hectares, including 122,100 hectares of production forests.
In fishery production, Thua Thien-Hue will develop shrimp production across some 900 hectares for export with a productivity of some 13,500 tons; and increase 15% of 90CV offshore vessels at present to more than 30% by 2020 in order to raise the offshore fisheries productivity to 70%.
By 2020, the province targets to obtain the agricultural growth of over 3.5%; food productivity of 310,000-320,000 tons per year; fisheries productivity of 73,000 tons per year; and rural families’ income increasing by 1.7-2 times compared to 2015./.
