Vietnam's shrimp exports reach record $4 billion, spurring shift to eco-friendly farming.

Vietnam's shrimp exports hit a record $4 billion in 2024, up 5.3% from the previous year, driven by advanced farming techniques. However, this growth has put pressure on the environment, leading to a shift towards eco-friendly practices. The sixth VietShrimp 2025 fair in Can Tho City highlights green farming, with 200 booths from 150 firms. Vietnam now has over 750,000 hectares of shrimp farms, with over 200,000 hectares using eco-friendly methods.
