In the Mekong Delta&#8217;s Tra Vinh province, farmers are starting to breed shrimp in mangrove forests. Not only does this give them sustainable incomes, it also aids in maintaining forest cover in the area.<\/p>\n<p>Packing a 65 kilometer coastline, the area carries advantages for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seafood-harvest.com\/?s=aquaculture\">aquaculture development<\/a>.

Among the changes are the shrimp-forest farming model. Under it, shrimp bred in the mangroves eat mostly natural food there. The variety that is mostly bred is black tiger shrimp, one of the country&#8217;s key shrimp exports. <a href=\"https:\/\/the-japan-news.com\/news\/article\/0007447274\">Catch the rest of story here.<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"level__left\">\n<div class=\"level__item\">\n<div class=\"js-copy-attribute-content photo-page__adp-cta__container__attribution\">Top Photo by <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/@lan-yao-324969?utm_content=attributionCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=pexels\">Lan Yao<\/a><\/strong> from <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/man-people-water-boat-6426173\/?utm_content=attributionCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=pexels\">Pexels<\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n<div>Second Photo by <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/@rodnae-prod?utm_content=attributionCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=pexels\">RODNAE Productions<\/a><\/strong> from <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/food-dinner-lunch-hot-6646067\/?utm_content=attributionCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=pexels\">Pexels<\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the Mekong Delta&#8217;s Tra Vinh province, Vietnames farmers are starting to breed shrimp in mangrove forests.
