Redefining shrimp farming in the Mekong Delta
The Urgent Challenges Facing Shrimp Farming in the Mekong Delta
Shrimp farming in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta is facing a severe crisis, with success rates dropping below 50%—and as low as 20% in some regions.
Outdated farming practices across 700,000 hectares discharge untreated wastewater, severely polluting water sources. This cycle of contamination fuels disease outbreaks, devastating shrimp populations and threatening the livelihoods of farmers.
New Shrimp Farming Designed for Efficiency and Consistency
By using biofloc technology, we recycle water within the farm, eliminating traditional water exchange. This significantly reduces pollution while maintaining a clean and healthy environment for shrimp growth.
Our advanced technology reduces water exchange by 80% compared to traditional methods. While conventional farms dedicate 70% of land to reservoirs and only 30% to shrimp production, we reverse this ratio. With 70% dedicated to production and real-time monitoring, yields are maximized without expanding land usage.
Farms are structured with ponds tailored to shrimp growth stages, providing optimal conditions at every phase of development. This design minimizes disease risks, enhances shrimp health, and ensures consistent, high-quality production.
Our model enables up to 8 harvests annually—compared to the industry average of 3—ensuring a steady, reliable supply of shrimp while maximizing commercial value.
