VTV.vn - Vietnam shrimp exports are facing challenges due to high prices compared with other countries in the region.

Therefore, local agricultural industries have implemented ways to reduce input costs and improve efficiency. The ecological shrimp farming model in Soc Trang is one example.

Despite the hot weather, Bùi Văn Ngoan still shows us his shrimp farm. He is quite satisfied because his shrimps are healthy and are growing well. The key factor for his success is an ecological shrimp farming model which has been run since 2014.

According to Soc Trang Department of Agriculture and Industry, aside from using algae to raise shrimp, farmers also need to prioritise the use of probiotics and microbial products.

This model also shows its effectiveness with the recirculation process and the ability to reuse water. A siphon system is applied in the shrimp pond in order to purify water.

Low cost and biological methods are the important factors that Vietnam’s shrimp industry is focusing on as part of efforts to develop sustainable production.
