The foundation for Manh’s belief in the success of the shrimp farming model lies in the natural seawater source. It is a very clean water supply, ensuring environmental factors for farming. The synchronous pond infrastructure system also contributes a big part to this success. In particular, he applies very advanced technology, raising shrimp in improved nethouses divided into 3 stages.
"It helps farmers proactively adjust environmental factors, so we can raise and harvest them all year round. During the farming process, we can proactively apply technical solutions to help shrimp develop in accordance with each growth cycle," said Manh.
As a man experienced in the construction field, Manh understands the optimal operating principle of the nethouse model. During the design process, he adjusts the height of the net from the top down to be much larger than that of conventional models. In this way, his nethouses allow flexibility, covering the farming area in the winter, or leaving it airy in the summer, avoiding the situation of stuffiness, condensation, fog, or high humidity that affects the development of shrimp.
In early March 2024, Manh released seeds in 3 ponds, divided into 3 stages: shrimplet, juvenile and adult. In early July 2024, he harvested the first batch of shrimp, yielding more than 50 tons. Manh sold shrimp sized 25 - 30 shrimp/kg for VND 120,000, much lower than the average price on the market every year. With such a price, Manh admitted he only broke even, because at this time, people in many regions sold a lot of shrimp, so the price was low. As the price of shrimp in the North is high when Tet comes near, the batches at that time would compensate for this batch.
