In 3 break-even cases, shrimp farming area of An Hoa village also lost white spot disease on shrimp. “In the winning cases, there are 250 million VND in my family, the weakest is 50 million VND, which is much more effective than the previous rice crop.”

Ms. Dung said that some households in the surrounding shrimp families have asked about the “know-how” of raising. Accordingly, the family also explained that it is necessary to choose the good breeding of the company as well as the only “little tip” is to find new areas (never shrimp farming) and have a source of water. Clean the shrimp to ensure that shrimp are not spread disease.

To further develop the shrimp culture, Dung’s family sold the scallops worth VND120 million, and purchased 2,000 m2 of land for digging ponds.

“Because there are only two spouses, mainly to do the words, so we do not rush, but slowly to expand the scale, gradually experience. But not always delicious to eat is to do, “Dung said.

In the coming time, apart from self-reliance, the family still wants the local authorities to support the capital for production development, while the South Central Company supplies the shrimp with technical support because of the weather. Unusual activity.
