The shift from traditional extensive farming (quang canh) to intensive farming (tham canh) is advancing, making it a leading area for high-tech shrimp farming. It is also famous for its traditional solar salt fields, and Bac Lieu salt is highly rated within Vietnam.<\/p>\n<h2>Features of agriculture<\/h2>\n<p>The shrimp-farming area is about 140,000 hectares, where both whiteleg shrimp and black tiger are farmed. The Vietnamese government has designated the 'Bac Lieu High-Tech Shrimp Farming Special Zone' and is advancing the construction of advanced farming systems using Israeli and Dutch technology. Rice cultivation is also carried out, but the shift to shrimp farming is accelerating due to the effects of saltwater intrusion.<\/p>\n<h2>Main agricultural products<\/h2>\n<p>Shrimp (whiteleg, black tiger, about 140,000 ha), salt (solar salt fields), rice, coconut<\/p>\n<h2>Related Articles<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/vietnam-agri.com\/en\/vietnam-agri\/shrimp-aquaculture-ranking\/\">Ranking comparison of the world's shrimp-farming countries<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/vietnam-agri.com\/en\/vietnam-agri\/vietnam-export-ranking\/\">Top 10 ranking of Vietnam's agricultural export value<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/vietnam-agri.com\/en\/vietnam-agri\/vietnam-fruit-season\/\">Complete guide to the seasonal calendar of Vietnamese fruit<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/vietnam-agri.com\/en\/vietnam-agri\/vietnam-gap-certification\/\">The Complete Guide to Vietnam's Farm-Produce Quality-Control Standards<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Reference information and source links<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ja.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/%E3%83%90%E3%82%AF%E3%83%AA%E3%82%A8%E3%82%A6%E7%9C%81\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wikipedia (Japanese) - Bac Lieu Province<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gso.gov.vn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">General Statistics Office of Vietnam (GSO)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mard.gov.vn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vietnam Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrcmekong.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mekong River Commission (MRC)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fao.org\/fishery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FAO Fisheries Division<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[1,14,103,90,93,22],"tags":[12,16,6,203,30],"crop_category":[267],"harvest_season":[257],"class_list":["post-995","region","type-region","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-vietnam-agri","category-mekong-delta","category-tech-innovation","category-aquaculture","category-region-info","category-export","tag-shrimp","tag-smart-farming","tag-vietnam","tag-climate-change","tag-export","crop_category-region-area","harvest_season-year-round"],"acf":{"region_name_vi":"B\u1ea1c Li\u00eau","region_population":910000,"region_climate":"\u71b1\u5e2f\u30e2\u30f3\u30b9\u30fc\u30f3\u6c17\u5019\u3002\u4e7e\u5b63\u306b\u5869\u6c34\u4fb5\u5165\u304c\u6df1\u523b\u3002\u30a8\u30d3\u990a\u6b96\u306e\u6700\u9069\u5730\u3002"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vietnam-agri.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/region\/995","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vietnam-agri.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/region"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vietnam-agri.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/region"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vietnam-agri.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=995"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vietnam-agri.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=995"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vietnam-agri.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=995"},{"taxonomy":"crop_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vietnam-agri.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/crop_category?post=995"},{"taxonomy":"harvest_season","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vietnam-agri.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/harvest_season?post=995"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
