BAC LIEU (Biz Hub) — The Mekong Delta province of Bac Lieu hopes to earn US$447 million from exporting agricultural products in 2015, a $47 million increase from 2014.

Bac Lieu will focus on promoting aquaculture and offshore fishing while implementing effective models of shrimp, rice-shrimp and shrimp-crab-fish farming, according to Luong Ngoc Lan, director of the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development.

Additional emphasis will be placed on intensifying intensive and semi-intensive shrimp farming, as well as developing large-scale rice field models that apply Vietnamese Good Agriculture Practices (VietGap) standards.— VNS
