According to the General Statistics Office, Vietnam’s total aquatic production in Q3/2025 was estimated at over 2.71 million tons, an increase of 3.3% compared with the same period in 2024. Cumulatively, in the first nine months of 2025, total aquatic production exceeded 7.26 million tons, up 3.2% year-on-year, confirming a steady recovery of the fisheries and aquaculture sector.
The shrimp–mangrove farming model, in which shrimp are farmed under mangrove forest canopies, has been expanding strongly across coastal provinces in the Mekong Delta such as Ca Mau, Bac Lieu, An Giang, Can Tho, and Vinh Long. This is a sustainable aquaculture approach that not only protects mangrove forests, but also supports climate change adaptation and provides stable livelihoods for local communities.
