These days, the fields in the Bien Bach Dong commune (Thoi Binh district, Ca Mau province) become bustling. From early in the morning, the rice fields were noisy with the sound of machines and reapers. Under the canals that carry water for irrigation, traders run canoeing to buy shrimp that are intercropped at the foot of the rice fields. "Working and eating for real" is the simile of old farmer Pham Van Chien, who has a rice-shrimp field of nearly 10 hectares in Sau La Cua hamlet, Bien Bach Dong commune. With that area of cultivation, this rice-shrimp crop, Mr. Chien collected more than 48 tons of ST24 rice and more than 1.5 tons of giant freshwater shrimp. "With the price of wet rice bought at the field 7,800 VND/kg, giant freshwater shrimp 115,000 VND/kg, my family made a profit of more than 250 million VND. With that much profit, my family will have a big Tet this year"-Mr. Chien excitedly. Bach Dong beach is one of many communes specializing in rice-shrimp farming of Thoi Binh district, where nearly 50% of the total of about 48,000 hectares of rice-shrimp is located in Ca Mau province. In the drought season, the rice-shrimp fields are affected by salinity and farmers combine shrimp farming with crab farming.
