• Ca Mau signed a cooperation agreement to expand the super-intensive shrimp farming model.
  • Urgently sow rice-shrimp crop
  • Record of raising large shrimp, profit of billions

After the merger, Ca Mau province has a shrimp farming area of ​​over 427,000 hectares; total shrimp output reaches over 900 thousand tons/year; export turnover is estimated to reach 2.5 billion USD/year in 2025. Realizing that traditional fragmented aquaculture development cannot meet the requirements of sustainability and international competitiveness, the province has proactively implemented concentrated farming area planning, promoted the application of high technology, and formed production models that are superior in productivity, quality and risk control. This is an important transition from extensive growth to intensive and sustainable growth.

Hiep Thanh Ward has formed a high-tech shrimp farming area to develop Bac Lieu shrimp, with an area of ​​418 hectares.

As a result of that initiative, Ca Mau has formed two important production areas: a high-tech, intensive farming area, applying IoT and water circulation technology, with an average yield of 20-22 tons/ha/year; an improved extensive farming area with specific ecological models such as shrimp - rice, shrimp - forest, covering hundreds of thousands of hectares, bringing dual economic value, protecting the environment and adapting to climate change. It is this harmonious combination that has created a picture of diverse, modern and sustainable aquaculture development.

The planning along the East sea dike of Ca Mau province (total estimated length of about 190.426 km) is a strategic breakthrough step of the province, because the dike not only plays a role in preventing natural disasters and protecting coastal residents, but also becomes a new development axis of the province's fisheries industry.

As one of the localities located on the East Sea dike, with favorable conditions for developing a high-tech shrimp farming model, in recent times, Hiep Thanh ward has implemented many solutions, calling for investment, effectively promoting its inherent advantages. In addition to its convenient geographical location, Hiep Thanh ward has a relatively large land and water surface area for aquaculture, with nearly 3,000 hectares and a 14 km long coastline, along with a system of rivers, canals, and ditches... which are favorable conditions for providing water for high-tech shrimp farming.

Up to now, Hiep Thanh ward has established a high-tech shrimp farming area to develop Bac Lieu shrimp with an area of ​​418 hectares. Of which, 315 hectares belong to Viet-Uc Nha Mat Company (including shrimp feed processing factory, high-tech shrimp farming area, seed production...) and 103 hectares are managed by the Management Board of the high-tech shrimp farming area to develop Bac Lieu shrimp.

Mr. Nguyen Quoc Minh, Vice Chairman of Hiep Thanh Ward People's Committee, said: "With the advantage of natural resources and the application of science and technology, the annual shrimp output of the ward reaches over 10 thousand tons. In the coming time, the ward will urge and speed up the implementation of investment projects in traffic infrastructure, electricity supply, water supply and drainage... to serve the needs of high-tech shrimp farming".

According to the Department of Agriculture and Environment of Ca Mau, with the orientation of forming concentrated, large-scale shrimp farming areas with synchronized electricity - irrigation - transportation infrastructure, with wastewater treatment and water supply systems for each area, the East Sea dike will become a high-tech aquatic belt, directly connected to processing plants, cold storage and logistics centers in the Nam Can Economic Zone and Hon Khoai port. This not only improves production efficiency but also creates a superior competitive advantage for Ca Mau shrimp in the international market, because it can supply large volumes of products that meet biosafety standards and international certification, with optimal logistics costs.

The East Sea dike of Ca Mau province has a total expected length of over 190 km.

Ca Mau is moving towards a green, efficient and sustainable economy. By 2030, Ca Mau will form a high-tech aquaculture belt along the East Sea dike, while promoting the value of specific ecological models, to maintain its position as the shrimp capital of Vietnam, making a practical contribution to global food security and sustainable development goals.
