Particularly, the area of super-intensive farming in the first 5 months of this year is more than 3,860 ha with 3,934 farming households. Most of the ponds and lagoons for intensive, super-intensive, and extensive shrimp farming in the province have stocked seeds for the new crop.
To improve the efficiency of aquaculture in the coming time, the People's Committee of Ca Mau province strengthens the guidance for departments, branches, and localities to implement urgent solutions promoting development in the direction of high productivity, high quality, and efficiency. These solutions must focus on developing a good shrimp farming model that can bring high productivity, be environmentally friendly, and can adapt to climate change.
At the same time, specified provincial authorities should actively monitor the weather as well as hydrometeorology to respond quickly to any problems, and also minimize damage caused by natural disasters.
In 2022, the province strives to put the total output of fishing and aquaculture to 630,000 tons; shrimp production to 230,000 tons, and shrimp processing output to 157,000 tons.
