Digital shrimp farming demonstration model in Thanh Hoa Province, Vietnam, achieves 44 tons/ha

According to a report by Vietnam Fisheries Magazine, in 2026, the Thanh Hoa Provincial Agricultural Extension Center implemented an intensive whiteleg shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) farming demonstration model in Tan Tien Commune and Ngoc Son Ward, applying digital technology and reducing emissions while linking to product sales, with a total of 2 farming households participating.

The model concentrates technical equipment into key stages of the production process, covering feed management, control of aquaculture water environment indicators, and tracking and monitoring of shrimp growth and health status.

The yield level announced for the model is 44 tons/ha.
