This is not only a source of pride for Vietnam to officially join the 4 major powers in the world (USA, Singapore, Thailand) to proactively source parent shrimp, contributing to changing the ranking of the Vietnamese shrimp industry on the world map, but this is also the key to proactively producing high-tech shrimp seed sources, increasing the success rate and profits for farmers.
