Leveraging its coastal advantages and vast brackish water resources, Vinh Long is aggressively promoting multi-phase high-tech shrimp farming models to enhance productivity, quality, ensure biosecurity and steering the local aquaculture sector toward sustainable development.
In recent years, the locality has mobilized multiple resources to upgrade irrigation, power supply and transport infrastructure, while encouraging farmers to adopt new science and technologies in aquaculture to meet quality standards. In the communes such as Hiep My, Cau Ngang and My Long, central and provincial authorities have invested over 1 trillion VND in developing irrigation systems for the Don, Tam Vu and Tra Con farming areas, covering over 3,000 hectares.
Local authorities have actively mobilized thousands of farmers to join aquaculture cooperative groups and cooperatives. At the same time, in coordination with the agricultural sector, training programs have been organized to transfer technical advancements, focusing on pond design, appropriate stocking calendars, husbandry practices and water quality management.
According to the Department of Agriculture and Environment of Vinh Long, the province’s shrimp farming area reached 69,800 hectares in 2025, including 7,500 hectares under high-tech shrimp farming,18,820 tons of black tiger shrimp and 293,000 tons of whiteleg shrimp.
Farmers in communes such as Dong Hai, Long Vinh, My Long, Hiep My, Binh Dai, Thoi Thuan and Thanh Phong adopting high-tech shrimp farming have achieved yields of 50-70 tonnes per hectare. Average production value reaches around 2.5 billion VND per hectare, with profits ranging from 500–700 million VND per hectare per crop.
A notable example is the Long Khanh Agricultural Cooperative in Long Thanh commune. For many years, its members have prospered through high-tech applications. Mr. Trinh Van That, a cooperative member, said that applying super-intensive shrimp farming has enabled him to tightly control broodstock selection, water environment treatment and disease management. With over one hectare of triple-crop super-intensive shrimp farming, his family earns nearly 2 billion VND in annual profit.
To date, 100% of Long Khanh’s members have adopted high-tech shrimp farming with water recycling systems, reduced environmental pollution and IoT applications. As a result, farmed shrimp meet GlobalGAP, BAP and ASC standards, complete with farming area codes and full traceability for both domestic and export markets.
Looking ahead, as part of efforts to develop a modern and efficient shrimp industry across production, processing and consumption, the province is calling for investment in a shrimp processing plant with a capacity of 18,000 tonnes per year, alongside 360-hectare high-tech farming zone, 750 hectares of organic-certified shrimp-rice farming and 678 hectares of eco-certified shrimp-forest models.
In the coming period, the province will continue to review and propose areas requiring integrated infrastructure investment to support aquaculture development. These synchronized projects are expected to lay a solid infrastructure foundation, improve production efficiency, promote sustainable fisheries development and contribute to long-term poverty reduction in coastal areas.

(vasep.com.vn) The global tilapia market continues to grow, creating significant opportunities for countries with strengths in aquaculture, processing, and exports. Against this backdrop, Vietnam’s tilapia industry is gradually developing toward higher quality, greater product diversification, and broader market reach. At Vietfish 2026, the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP), together with the VASEP Tilapia Producers and Exporters Club, will host a joint booth to promote the image and potential of Vietnamese tilapia to domestic and international buyers.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) Vietnam’s seafood exports are heading towards $12 billion this year, potentially the highest level on record. Yet one of the country’s export strengths is facing a growing list of challenges.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) The first six months of 2026 indicate that Vietnam’s tilapia industry is entering a new phase of development, with strong export growth but also greater demands for production scale, quality and international competitiveness.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) Vietfish 2026, the Vietnam International Seafood Exhibition, will officially take place from 19–21 August 2026 in Ho Chi Minh City. As Vietnam’s largest annual seafood trade event, organized by the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP), Vietfish 2026 will once again bring together leading seafood companies, industry experts, and international partners from across the global seafood value chain.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) Vietnam’s seafood exports reached USD 1.1 billion in July 2026, up 4.8% compared to the same period in 2025. Cumulative exports in the first seven months of the year totaled nearly USD 6.86 billion, an increase of 11.5% year-on-year. Exceeding the USD 1 billion mark in July further reinforces the prospect that Vietnam’s seafood exports could surpass USD 12 billion in 2026. However, the July figures also send a clear signal that the most favorable growth period may have passed: overall export growth slowed to just 4.8%, pangasius exports fell 6.1%, tuna exports were virtually flat, while exports to the EU, South Korea, and the Middle East all recorded double-digit declines.
