The Vietnamese shrimp industry has experienced a notable recovery in 2023, with exports failing to surpass the 2022 record of US$4.3 billion but showing significant improvement. The growth is supported by positive market trends, including steady increases in exports to the US and EU, and a surge in processed shrimp exports. Despite these gains, the industry faces several challenges such as seed quality, breeding density, disease management, and cost reduction. Experts recommend reforms and the adoption of advanced, sustainable, and climate-change-resilient farming practices to ensure the industry's future sustainability and competitiveness. Vietnamese farming companies are encouraged to innovate, use science and technology, and develop infrastructure to improve environmental management, reduce emissions, and increase the value chain in shrimp farming.
