Specifically, the total farming area reached 68,231 hectares, an increase of 1.16% year-on-year (mainly due to an increase in the area for various fish species); of which, brackish water shrimp accounted for 47,003 hectares, a decrease of 1.32%, while fish and other species covered 21,228 hectares, an increase of 7.1%. The total fishery production reached 289,575 tons, and increasing by 1.58% year-on-year, with farmed output at 237,652 tons, up by 1.5%, including brackish water shrimp production of 149,651 tons.
In the early months of the year, the price of whiteleg shrimp was low and continuously decreased (especially in June and July). However, from August to now, the price of white leg shrimp has increased significantly, currently ranging from 107,000 to 225,000 VND/kg, an average increase of 17,300 VND/kg compared to the beginning of the year, and rising 9,000 - 39,000 VND/kg year-on-year.
Currently, Soc Trang province has implemented a project to develop sustainable brackish water shrimp farming, focusing on clean production, high-tech applications, digital technology, and breakthrough scientific and technical achievements that are environmentally friendly and suitable for the ecological characteristics of each region, while leveraging the natural potential for brackish water shrimp farming in each locality and taking advantage of market opportunities.
In recent years, many effective shrimp farming models have been expanded by local residents, such as two-phase shrimp farming, black tiger shrimp farming with tarpaulin-lined ponds equipped with siphon pits for waste treatment, and closed-loop shrimp farming using high technology (with tarpaulin-lined farming areas reaching 4,872 hectares).
According to the plan, Soc Trang aims to achieve 57,000 hectares of shrimp farming area and a production target of 233,800 tons by 2025, with the export turnover value of the province maintaining over 1 billion USD.
In the future, the province will continue to invest in developing the shrimp industry by reorganizing production, cooperating, and linking small production facilities to create large-scale concentrated raw material production areas, acting as a hub for connections with enterprises supplying input and output materials; developing production closely tied to the market demand for products, enhancing the value chain.
