The province will set aside 55 billion VND (2.4 million USD) to zone off cultivating area, upgrade infrastructure, produce breeding varieties, examine the environment and diseases as well as transfer technology and promote trade and investment.

Production will be reorganised to create a large-scale material production area. The province will link local shrimp suppliers with consumption markets.

By 2020, Phu Yen will work to reduce total water surface area for shrimp breeding to 1,943 hectares from 2,028 hectares in 2016 but shoot up the volume of shrimp production to 9,950 tons from 6,760 tons.

The province is planning to produce 6 billion juvenile shrimps and 18,000 lobster-nurturing cages in an area of over 55 hectares.

Phu Yen’s shrimp farming area is mostly situated in Dong Hoa and Tuy An district and Song Cau town. Last year, the province produced nearly 6,800 tons of shrimp and 650 tons of lobster.
