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) Although Germany’s tuna imports have declined, Vietnam’s tuna exports to the market continue to show positive signs. Notably, export value recovered strongly in Q3/2026, and German import data also show Vietnamese products strengthening their position amid competition among suppliers.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) Seafood exports are holding double-digit growth, but the opportunities are not spread evenly across product groups and markets. As businesses draw up their plans for 2027, Vietnam Seafood Summit 2026 (VSS2026) offers a chance to look ahead together: what to sell, where to sell it, and how to prepare for growth in the coming years.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) With less than two weeks to go, the Vietnam Seafood Summit 2026 (VSS 2026) will officially take place in Can Tho. Under the theme “Seafood Market Outlook 2027–2029 – Opportunities and Potential for Double-Digit Export Growth,” the Summit is organized by VASEP at a time when seafood businesses are facing rapid market shifts, changing buyer demand, trade policy changes and growing competitive pressure all at once.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) On October 28, 2026, the China Fisheries & Seafood Expo opened in Qingdao, China. The expo takes place over three days from October 28 to 30, 2026. This is a prestigious specialized seafood exhibition organized annually by Sea Fare Exposition Inc.
(vasep.com.vn) In the first nine months of 2026, Vietnam’s tilapia exports to the CPTPP bloc reached $7 million, marking a 51% year-on-year increase. The bloc rstands as the fourth-largest market for Vietnamese tilapia, trailing Brazil, the US, and Saudi Arabia.
(vasep.com.vn) VASEP has officially announced the program for Vietnam Seafood Summit 2026 (VSS 2026), featuring five in-depth sessions covering industry outlooks, trade barriers, buyer demand, the domestic market, and solutions to improve productivity and reduce costs across the seafood value chain.
(vasep.com.vn) Vietnam’s shrimp exports reached US$3.7 billion in the first nine months of 2026, up 11% year on year. Although growth has been supported by China and several markets within the CPTPP, momentum is slowing as exports to the United States and the European Union decline. Tariff pressures, international competition, and raw material challenges are creating significant hurdles for exporters in the final months of the year.
(vasep.com.vn) Markets are changing faster, buyer requirements are becoming more demanding, and trade barriers are growing increasingly complex. In this environment, seafood businesses need more than an understanding of current market conditions. They need a longer-term perspective to answer a critical question: Where will growth opportunities come from in 2027–2029, and what should businesses do now to prepare? This is one of the key reasons why VASEP is organizing Vietnam Seafood Summit 2026.
(vasep.com.vn) In the first eight months of 2026, Vietnam’s pangasius exports to the Middle East reached US$113 million, up 7% year on year from the same period in 2025. Growth has become more pronounced in recent months. In August alone, exports to the region totaled US$20 million, an increase of 24%. This indicates that demand for Vietnamese pangasius in the Middle East is gradually recovering after a slowdown in March, although the pace of recovery varies across markets.
(vasep.com.vn) China’s shrimp imports continued to grow strongly in 2026, while Vietnam’s shrimp exports to the market also recorded notable growth. However, behind these positive figures lie two distinct trends: Chinese consumption is growing more slowly than imports, and lobster accounts for a substantial share of Vietnam’s shrimp exports to China, making its product mix significantly different from those of Ecuador and India. Exporters therefore need to assess each segment carefully to understand the opportunities and risks.
