Bac Lieu expanding whiteleg shrimp farming
(vasep.com.vn) So far this year, farmers in Bac Lieu province have stocked nearly 1,500 hectares of whiteleg shrimp under intensive and semi-intensive models. Local shrimp farming area reported a sharp increase compared to the same period of last year thanks to higher shrimp price and demand as well as short farming time.
The price of whiteleg shrimp count 80 – 100 pieces per kilogram is in the range of VND130,000 – 145,000 per kilogram. Increasing whiteleg shrimp production is expected to compensate for the shortage of raw black tiger shrimp for processors in the province.
