Ca Mau Sub-department of Aquaculture has proposed measures about aquaculture farming area project, intensive shrimp farming area, the rice – shrimp farming model, organic shrimp farming, environment-friendly shrimp farming project
The provincial leaders attaches special importance to infrastructure development for shrimp farming, in particular to electricity and irrigation system serving industrial shrimp farming area, enhances policies about human resources training serving farmed shrimp management and care, establishes many shrimp farming models to serve as a model and expand effective shrimp farming model.
Ca Mau strives to develop clean shrimp farming process, encourage shrimp farmers to use finished products and reduce the amount of drug and chemicals for shrimp farming, push them to apply biological technology in seed production to boost farmed shrimp output, plan and apply farming schedule thoroughly to prevent risks and loss caused by instable weather conditions.
The directions of Ca Mau People’s Committee about industrial shrimp farming solutions focus on training, instructions, transfer of shrimp farming technology, seed production in direction of improving farmed shrimp’s output and quality.
Ca Mau enhances the management of seed quality, tightens control over foreign matters injection into shrimp, and prevents producers from using banned substances in feeding and preserving raw shrimp to meet clean shrimp demand of consumers and export markets.
