The Department of Agricultural and Rural Development of the Mekong Delta’s Tra Vinh province is encouraging local farmers to grow clean prawns in tandem with improving mangrove forest production.
Since 2013, the sector has invested more than 300 million VND (14,000 USD) in developing green and clean prawn farms with 20 households in Hiep Thanh commune, Duyen Hai district.
Under the project, farmers have also been offered technical and technological assistance to enhance the effectiveness and quality of prawn farming in mangrove forests.
The farms are equipped with irrigation filter systems and are well maintained in a bid to ensure adequate supply of nutrition and light for prawn growing.
According to the Tra Vinh Centre for Agricultural and Fishery Promotion, the project has helped develop local forests while increasing local farmer income.-VNA
