Deputy Prime Minister Trinh Dinh Dung has recently commented on the high-tech shrimp farming park in the southern province of Bac Lieu.
Specifically, based on relevant regulations of the Law on Public Investment, the Ministry of Planning and Investment is responsible for working with relevant agencies to examine the capital sources and capital balancing capability of the project and proposing an agency to examine the pre-feasibility study report for the project and report back to the PM.
Shrimp farming is the biggest advantage of Bac Lieu with an annual shrimp output of 105,000 tonnes (the second largest across the country, just behind Ca Mau province), generating a value of nearly VND11.5 trillion (US$506 million).
Besides, the province is also one of the largest shrimp fry production centres with an output of 25 billion fries per year, accounting for 50% of the Mekong Delta’s figure and 19.23% of the country’s total figure.
With the goals of becoming the largest shrimp cultivating zone in the country and building the Vietnamese shrimp trademark, Bac Lieu has built a number of high-tech shrimp farming models, such as the model of super-intensive shrimp production in greenhouses of the Viet Nam-Australia Group and the model of applying the Biofloc technology to super-intensive shrimp production at the Truc Anh Production and Trading Limited Company.
