Shrimp breeding has been identified as a spearhead economic sector for the Mekong Delta province of Bac Lieu, which has significantly contributed to maintaining economic growth in the province. The locality has poured investments in the sector over the past years so as to optimise its potential. Shrimp export revenue is expected to rise 5.28% per year in 2021-2025 to reach 970 million USD by 2025. Bac Lieu is one of the leading provinces nationwide in high-quality shrimp fry production, with an annual output of 25 billion, accounting for more than half of the volume in the Mekong Delta and about 20% of the whole country.
