Vietnam plans to have at least 10 hi-tech agriculture production zones comprising 200 enterprises by 2020. Vietnam-Australia JSC, a foreign invested enterprise with a branch in Bac Lieu province, has pioneered shrimp super-intensive farming in greenhouses. Under the extensive farming model, there are 3-6 shrimp per square meter. Meanwhile, under the super-intensive model, there are 300-500 shrimp per square meter. Trung said the farming model saves more water than other models, because water is sprayed on vegetables and collected back in water tanks for re-use.
