With a focus on sustainable development, high-tech application, and climate change adaptation, An Giang Province aims to maintain its brackish water shrimp production in 2026 at a level equivalent to the previous year. Specifically, output is projected to reach over 155,510 tons, serving both domestic consumption and export processing, thereby sustaining the fisheries sector’s key role in the local economic structure.

The province’s total shrimp farming area is estimated at around 137,000 hectares. Authorities are steering development toward sustainability, with proactive seasonal planning and increased application of science and technology to reduce risks and adapt to climate change.

To improve efficiency, the province encourages a shift from traditional farming to advanced models such as multi-stage farming and the use of larger post-larvae for stocking. It is also promoting nursery and pre-growing systems before commercial farming to enhance survival rates and reduce disease risks. Technical training, environmental monitoring, and early warning systems continue to be strengthened.

In addition, An Giang is tightening the management of seed quality, controlling imported broodstock and post-larvae, and advising farmers to use certified seed. The issuance of farming area codes for traceability is being accelerated, alongside effective management of irrigation systems to support safe and sustainable production.
