Besides, eco-certification systems associated with mangroves such as ASC, Naturland, Bio Suisse, Selva Shrimp are preferred and have export prices that are 20-30% higher than conventional shrimp.Currently, the area of shrimp-mangrove in the Mekong Delta is about 200,000 ha, accounting for largest area compared to other types of farming  such as improved extensive, shrimp-rice, semi-intensive and intensive. In Ca Mau, there are currently about 82,000 ha, of which mangrove area is 42,500 ha and aquaculture area accounts 39,500 ha). This area concentrated in some districts (Ngoc Hien district: 22,875 ha, Nam Can: 7,625 ha, Phu Tan and Dam Doi: 4,000-5,000 ha; Bac Lieu province has an area outside of protection dyke of 3,147 ha, of which 3,379 ha are inside dyke area.
