What procedures are required for fish farming and which department is responsible for it?

If I want to build a pond in the countryside to raise fish, what do I need to apply for?

Fish ponds also belong to land occupation and agricultural land. You must at least apply to the village committee and get its approval. As for other procedures, it depends on the size of your fish pond. If it is a small-scale operation, generally no other procedures are required.

Hello! Go to the village committee and ask if there are any fish ponds that have been contracted out. If so, just take the contract fee!

First of all, private individuals cannot change the use of the base farmland without permission! If you want to dig a pond for breeding, it is recommended to consult the village committee! If it is a large-scale breeding, it needs to be reported to the local agricultural and rural department!
