Since 2009, Ben Tre clams had been certified by the International Maritime Council for Sustainable Fisheries in accordance with MSC standards for the period 2010–2015 and then continued to be recognized and maintained for the second time in 2015–2020. Up to now, the clam management and exploitation profession continues to be recognized by the 3rd MSC standard for the period 2024–2029 (valid from May 23, 2025, until March 22, 2029).

The third recertification of the province's clam industry is also the result of the efforts of cooperatives, fishing communities in the three coastal districts, and relevant departments and units. This is an honor and pride for the clams of Ben Tre in particular and Vietnam in general in the international market. Clams are currently making a positive and important contribution to the province's export proportion of goods. In particular, clam meat is highly appreciated for its nutritional value, food safety, and hygiene. Currently, clams originating from Ben Tre are reputable and dominate many markets in Europe and Asia.

The annual output of MSC-certified Ben Tre clams averages 7,500–8,000 tons, with an estimated value of about 200–250 billion VND. Thereby, contributing to creating jobs, increasing income, and improving the lives of 20,000 members of 7 cooperatives and thousands of local workers, especially women in rural areas.

According to the Binh Dai District People's Committee, the district's mollusk farming area currently has more than 3,150 hectares. In the past 6 months, mining output was about 10,680 tons. In particular, the commercial clam output at two seafood cooperatives, Dong Tam (Thua Duc commune) and Rang Dong (Thoi Thuan commune), reached an output of more than 2,400 tons, achieving a revenue of over 59 billion VND.
