The project is divided into two phases, the first is from 2017 to 2020 and the second is from 2021 to 2030.
Accordingly, by 2020, Ca Mau province expected to touch 280,000 hectares in shrimp farming area. In particular, the area for improved - extensive shrimp farming is 267,000 hectares, that for intensive and semi-intensive shrimp farming is 12,000 hectares, and that for super-intensive shrimp farming is 1,000 hectares. The average yield is about 1 ton per hectare per year with the output of 280,000 MT and the export turnover of US$2 billion.
By 2030, the farming area expected to be stable at 280,000 hectares. Of which, that for improved - extensive shrimp farming is 265,000 hectares, down 2,000 hectares over 2020; that for intensive and semi-intensive shrimp farming is 13,000 hectares, up 1,000 hectares; and that for super-intensive shrimp farming is 2,000 hectares, up 1,000 hectares. The average yield expected to increase from 1 MT/ha/year to about 1.48 MT/ha/year with the output of 415,000 MT and the export turnover of US$3 billion.
In order to effectively implement the project, Ca Mau province is focusing on disseminating the contents of the project, training and improving the capacity of managers and shrimp farmers; actively study and apply new farming processes and technologies with sustainable efficiency.
Besides, the province sets up an environmental monitoring system in some concentrated farming areas; improves the effectiveness of disease prevention and control, actively develops plans for disease prevention on shrimps and boosts to quarantine shrimp seed.
At the same time, the province also builds its own brand name of black tiger shrimp; selects enterprises providing agricultural supplies of high quality, prestige and capacity. The province has a policy to encourage enterprises to produce clean shrimp seed for shrimp farmers.
