He also attributed the rise in aquatic product export revenue to favourable conditions for shrimp farming this year, as well as the province’s active prevention of diseases and technical support to farmers in shrimp breeding.
As of June 2017, Tra Vinh harvested 11,115 tonnes of white-leg shrimp and over 4,000 tonnes of tiger prawn. With over 24,000 hectares of shrimp farming currently, the province expects an output of over 38,000 tonnes of commercial shrimp.-VNA
