Disease and shifts in temperature are hitting shrimp farms in Vietnam, putting the country’s $2.5 billion (€1.9 billion) export turnover target under threat.
Black tiger shrimp in around 100 hectares of farms have died in Soc Trang province because of disease and temperature changes by the big difference in temperature between day and night, said Bowie Leung, country manager for Vietnam with Bangkok, Thailand-based frozen seafood supplier Siam Canadian Group.
“I heard shrimp at Tan Phu district in Ca Mau also died because of the same problem,” he told IntraFish.
