Last month, feed manufactures including CP, Viet Thang, Cargill, UP and others decided to increase prices by VND 150 to VND 300 per kilogramme.
Nguyen Quang Huu, a shrimp breeder in Tien Giang Province's Tan Phu Dong District, said the price of a juvenile had increased by 10 to 30 dong compared to the same period last year.
At the new rates, the cost of farming a kilogramme of black tiger prawn comes to around to VND 105,000 while they fetch around VND 205,000, or a profit of VND 100,000 per kilogramme.
