Vietnam aims for sustainable shrimp production to meet global demand
Saturday, April 5,2025
AsemconnectVietnam - Over 200,000 ha of Vietnam's shrimp farms are cultivated organically and ecologically, certified by international organizations.
Currently, Vietnam's shrimp industry is undergoing a "green revolution," transitioning from traditional practices to sustainable production methods that minimize environmental impact while meeting international market standards.
Radio the Voice of Vietnam quoted statistics from the Directorate of Fisheries under the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment as reporting that over 200,000 ha of Vietnam's shrimp farms are cultivated organically and ecologically, certified by international organizations.
These certified products have demonstrated significant advantages in large, demanding markets.
However, despite these advancements, the Vietnamese shrimp industry continues to face challenges, particularly regarding market trade policies. To address these issues, the industry needs to adopt synchronized solutions, shift towards green and responsible production practices, prioritize product quality, protect consumer health, and create sustainable added value.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Phuong Dung, a representative from the Directorate of Fisheries, noted that Vietnam's main shrimp export markets include China, South Korea, the United States, Japan, and the EU.
To meet the demands of these markets and align with the global shift toward green, clean, safe, and sustainable agriculture, it is crucial to develop technologies and models for water-saving aquaculture, improve material efficiency, and reduce antibiotic use in shrimp farming.
Additionally, strengthening disease control, ensuring food safety in aquaculture, promoting the application of recycling technology, utilizing agricultural by-products, advancing a circular economy, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions are essential measures.
Ms. Dung emphasized: "Technical advancements in shrimp farming, particularly those aimed at green growth and a circular economy, will greatly benefit our shrimp farming community by offering energy-saving solutions, reducing input costs, and maintaining a sustainable environment."
