Mr. Nguyen Nam Hai in block 6, Mai Hung ward has a different farming technique than many households in the area. With 3,000 m2The area of the farming pond and 2 settling ponds, each year he rotates the farming between the ponds. If this crop releases shrimp, the next crop will make settling ponds, and so on, the farming ponds rotate in a rolling cycle, ensuring the time for the pond and water source treatment process.
Besides, Mr. Nam releases shrimp at a moderate density of 80-120 shrimp/m2. The above factors have helped his family's shrimp area to always grow well. This year's shrimp crop was harvested earlier than expected due to early storms and rains.
