Abstract

By promoting gender equality in shrimp farming, some provinces of Vietnam’s Mekong Delta are finding innovations for adapting to climate change Vietnam’s largest deltaic region, the Mekong Delta offers great potential for rice production and aquaculture. With an area of 747,000 hectares in 2022, it is the country’s largest shrimp-producing area. The shrimp-rice area covers nearly 190,000 hectares, accounting for 26.8 per cent of the total shrimp farming area in the Mekong Delta. The production of farmed shrimp of all kinds in 2022 reached 1,080,600 tonnes, an increase of 8.5 per cent over 2021; of this the rice-shrimp production reached about 120,000 tonnes.
