This is a 3-stage super-intensive whiteleg shrimp farming model with little water change. According to the design, if all the high-tech stages are fully applied, the facility can achieve an output of 120 tons/year. However, in the current stage, the average annual production capacity of the facility is only about 65 - 70 tons.

Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Le Minh Hoan said that to successfully raise shrimp during this period, high technology must be applied; traditional farming methods cannot be used.
In addition to the initial investment loans from farmers, businesses must have mechanisms and policies to support techniques and breeds for people. This is an important factor that determines the existence and development of businesses.
