Vietnam aquaculture and mariculture development

Overview

Vietnam is advancing technological and strategic shifts in its aquaculture sector to drive economic growth and sustainability. In the Mekong Delta, scientists have developed a super-intensive, closed-loop shrimp farming system in Ben Tre province. This method recirculates water and converts waste into biogas and organic compost, significantly reducing water, energy, and land use while increasing gross production value by nearly eleven times compared to conventional intensive farms.

On a broader scale, the Vietnamese government is targeting mariculture as a primary pillar of its marine economy, aiming for an average annual production value growth of 8%. This strategy involves transitioning from small-scale near-shore farming to industrialized, high-tech offshore aquaculture utilizing advanced materials and automated monitoring. Complementing these industrial goals, local entities like the HTX Thanh Dat shrimp farming cooperative have obtained Aquaculture Stewardship Council certification, facilitating better access to international export markets through validated sustainable practices.
