Hey fellow farmers! A new season is upon us. Seeing our shrimp ponds healthy and hitting target sizes early is the ultimate joy, isn't it?
More than just a breeding stock, the VU-S26 Super Team is the culmination of a technological revolution: molecular genetic analysis (DNA). Through a rigorous breeding process, we have successfully deciphered the most superior gene codes to create the "VU-S26 Super Team" – a comprehensive solution to all the challenges facing the Vietnamese shrimp industry.
On the night of April 5th, the "Prosperity Journey" of Viet Uc officially arrived in Da Nang, leaving unforgettable impressions on guests and valued shrimp farmers in the Central and Northern regions.
On March 22, 2026, the VU-S26 Special Team was officially launched to a large audience of customers and Viet Uc dealers in the Southern region.
At VietShrimp Asia 2026, one of the major technology events in the shrimp industry, Viet Uc Group presented a special highlight with the theme of breakthrough technology in breeding selection: "From genetic data, the shrimp breeding team gradually emerges."
25+ years of building a resilient bedrock for Vietnamese shrimp also tell the story of the VUG spirit—forged through accountability, togetherness, and meaningful impact! It was never by chance that our 25th-anniversary CSR celebration kicked off at dawn on Phuoc Dinh beach, where Viet-Uc's boundless energy converged with local youth and the blue wave of volunteers.
Despite an early wake-up call at the break of dawn, the radiant smiles and infectious enthusiasm of over 250 green warriors lit up Son Hai beach right from the very first moments!
On October 18, the Symposium on Research and Technological Autonomy in Marine Lobster Seed Propagation and Brackish-Water Shrimp Selective Breeding in Vietnam concluded with great success at Viet-Uc Phuoc Dinh Center (Khanh Hoa). Beyond being an academic forum, the event reaffirmed Vietnam's strategic aspiration for technological self-reliance in aquaculture.
Viet Uc Group proudly participated in the Bangkok summit through two in-depth academic sessions with leading international experts, delivering clear messages from the frontlines
The in-depth panel discussion, "Genetic Improvement in Farmed Shrimp: A Driver of Competitiveness and Sustainability," held at the Shangri-La Hotel Bangkok, concluded with valuable scientific dialogues, reaffirming the increasingly pivotal role of breeding technology in the future of the global shrimp industry.
Alongside our journey of pioneering technology and fostering prosperity, Viet-Uc continuously spreads humanistic values through community-driven initiatives. Among these, our scholarship program represents a tangible commitment to education, empowering the younger generation on their quest for knowledge and shaping a brighter future.
