About 80,000 hectares of vast mangrove forest (the world's second-largest in scale) spread across it, and it is home to Cape Ca Mau National Park, registered as a Ramsar wetland.<\/p>\n<p>The 'mangrove + shrimp' ecosystem, which balances mangrove forests with shrimp farming, is internationally recognized as a model case for Vietnam.<\/p>\n<h2>Features of agriculture<\/h2>\n<p>Shrimp farming is the most important industry supporting Ca Mau Province's economy. The farming area is about 280,000 hectares, Vietnam's largest. Extensive farming within mangrove forests is traded at high prices as organic shrimp. It is home to the bases of major seafood companies such as Minh Phu Seafood, where the processing and export of frozen shrimp is thriving.<\/p>\n<h2>Main agricultural products<\/h2>\n<p>Shrimp (about 280,000 ha, Vietnam's largest), crab (mangrove crab), mangrove forest products, rice, coconut<\/p>\n<h2>Exports and logistics<\/h2>\n<p>Shrimp export destinations are mainly Japan, the EU, and the United States. Many of Ca Mau Province's shrimp products have obtained international certifications (ASC, BAP, etc.) as 'mangrove organic shrimp' and are highly rated in the premium market. Ca Mau Port is small in scale, but an overland transport route to the ports of Ho Chi Minh City is in place.<\/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%82%AB%E3%83%9E%E3%82%A6%E7%9C%81\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wikipedia (Japanese) - Ca Mau 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":[24,1,14,90,93,22],"tags":[31,12,6,33,203,30],"crop_category":[267],"harvest_season":[257],"class_list":["post-996","region","type-region","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sdgs-sustainability","category-vietnam-agri","category-mekong-delta","category-aquaculture","category-region-info","category-export","tag-sdgs","tag-shrimp","tag-vietnam","tag-organic-farming","tag-climate-change","tag-export","crop_category-region-area","harvest_season-year-round"],"acf":{"region_name_vi":"C\u00e0 Mau","region_population":1200000,"region_climate":"\u71b1\u5e2f\u30e2\u30f3\u30b9\u30fc\u30f3\u6c17\u5019\u3002\u5e74\u9593\u964d\u6c34\u91cf2,300mm\u8d85\u3002\u5e83\u5927\u306a\u30de\u30f3\u30b0\u30ed\u30fc\u30d6\u6797\u3002\u30d9\u30c8\u30ca\u30e0\u6700\u5357\u7aef\u3002"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vietnam-agri.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/region\/996","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=996"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vietnam-agri.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=996"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vietnam-agri.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=996"},{"taxonomy":"crop_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vietnam-agri.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/crop_category?post=996"},{"taxonomy":"harvest_season","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vietnam-agri.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/harvest_season?post=996"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
