The Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of the Mekong Delta province of Tra Vinh is running a high-tech project to boost the capacity of the local super-intensive farming model for vannamei shrimps, reports Vietnam Plus.

With the super intensive farming model, the number of shrimps farmed is up to 250 per square metre, compared with 50 in traditional models.

Farmers would then harvest 40 metric tons per hectare per crop, seven to eight times higher than in traditional models.
