VietShrimp 2025 returns with the topic 'Greening Farming'

October 8, 2024 - The term 'Greening' has become familiar and an inevitable trend in the lives and economy of Vietnamese people. It is not difficult to come across this term through projects such as green industry, green cities, green enterprises, green products and even green waste is now receiving attention.

The whole society is urgently coming together and pushing for rapid progress in the 'Greening' revolution. The roadmap for greening Vietnam's shrimp industry has seen encouraging progress, but challenges still remain on the path to sustainable production.

On a positive note, we can easily observe a clear change in the awareness of the importance of environmentally friendly shrimp production, both from producers and consumers. This has led to increasing demand for shrimp products with green certification.

The application of advanced technologies such as recirculating aquaculture systems, the use of probiotics and environmental monitoring systems has helped minimise negative impacts on the ecosystem. Government support through incentive policies, green credit funds and the fact that many shrimp farms have achieved prestigious international certifications, has created favourable conditions for the green transition process.

However, the roadmap for greening the shrimp industry is not without its obstacles. The significant investment required for technology and infrastructure, especially for small-scale producers, poses a considerable financial burden. In addition, the lack of knowledge and techniques for sustainable production is another limitation that needs to be addressed. 

Reaching consumers and ensuring stable prices for 'green' shrimp products still face many challenges. Lastly, the issue of environmental pollution from shrimp farming activities, especially in concentrated farming areas, remains a major challenge that requires urgent attention and decisive solutions.

In summary, although certain achievements have been made, there is still much work to be done on the roadmap to greening Vietnam's shrimp industry. Close collaboration among stakeholders, from the Government, businesses to shrimp farmers, is the key to promoting this process, ensuring sustainable development and enhancing the competitiveness of Vietnam's shrimp industry in the international arena.

'Greening farming' will be the main theme throughout VietShrimp 2025. The event will bring together leading businesses in Vietnam's shrimp industry, offering advanced technological solutions and modern farming models to accelerate the greening process of shrimp farming areas.
