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.

(seafood.vasep.com.vn) In Hoa Vang district (Da Nang City), red tilapia farming is demonstrating clear economic efficiency, becoming a promising livelihood that helps many households increase their income. A notable example is the model of Mr. Huynh Ngoc Nam, who operates two red tilapia ponds covering more than 4 hectares, generating stable annual income.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) In Gia Vien district, tilapia farming—particularly the “duong nghiep” strain—is expanding rapidly and gradually becoming an efficient production model for local farmers. Hatcheries in the area are supplying high-quality, uniform, and disease-free fingerlings, meeting the growing demand for commercial farming.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) On the afternoon of March 19, Vice Chairman of the Ca Mau Provincial People’s Committee, Le Van Su, chaired a meeting to address bottlenecks and propose solutions to expand the super-intensive whiteleg shrimp farming model using low water exchange and high biosecurity standards (RAS-IMTA).
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) On March 10, 2026, the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee issued Decision No. 1377/QD-UBND approving the Aquatic Animal Disease Prevention and Control Plan for the 2026–2030 period. The decision takes effect from the date of signing and replaces previous plans for the 2021–2030 period that had been issued prior to the administrative merger in Ba Ria – Vung Tau, Binh Duong, and Ho Chi Minh City.
(vasep.com.vn) In 2025, Chile imported more than USD 156 million worth of tuna, up 8.1% compared to the previous year and the highest level in the past five years. As the supply structure in this market is rapidly shifting, Vietnamese tuna is facing both opportunities to expand market share and increasing competitive pressure from Thailand, Colombia, and China.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) Vinh Long Province is stepping up efforts to develop brackish water shrimp farming in a sustainable direction, identifying it as a key sector in its agricultural structure. In 2026, the province aims to reach around 71,300 hectares of shrimp farming, with an output of over 314,000 tons.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) Ha Tinh Province is strengthening control over shrimp seed quality to minimize risks for the 2026 spring–summer farming season.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) In February 2026, Vietnam’s pangasius exports reached USD 119 million, down slightly 5% year-on-year. However, thanks to strong performance in January, cumulative exports in the first two months of the year still reached USD 331 million, up 28% compared to the same period in 2025. Export activity slowed somewhat in February due to seasonal factors, particularly the Lunar New Year holiday, which disrupted production and shipments at many seafood processing enterprises.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) Da Nang is accelerating the development of high-tech shrimp farming toward intensive production, disease control, and improved efficiency. Many shrimp farms have invested in automated environmental monitoring systems, continuously tracking indicators such as pH, dissolved oxygen, temperature, and salinity, enabling farmers to promptly adjust pond conditions and reduce disease risks.
