In his opening remarks at the fair, Mr. Nguyen Viet Thang, Chairman of the Vietnam Fisheries Association and Head of the Organizing Committee of VietShrimp 2025, stated: In 2024, the country's shrimp production reached 1.264 million tons, a 5.3% increase compared to 2023, bringing in over 4 billion USD in export revenue, a significant increase compared to the previous year. The growth in shrimp productivity and export revenue is largely due to the increasingly widespread application of scientific and technological advancements and high-tech models. However, the proliferation of these models has inadvertently put pressure on the shrimp's living environment, causing the quality of farming areas to gradually decline. Therefore, along with improving shrimp productivity and quality, solutions are needed to develop the shrimp farming sector effectively and sustainably, especially given the increasingly stringent demands of the global market…

Mr. Nguyen Ngoc He, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Can Tho City, emphasized that Can Tho City and the Mekong Delta provinces have great potential and advantages for developing aquaculture, processing, and exporting seafood. The fair is an opportunity for the seafood industry in the Mekong Delta and the whole country to showcase scientific and technological advancements in seafood exploitation, aquaculture, and processing, as well as to promote brands, introduce products, services, and technologies... serving production, developing shrimp farming, improving product quality and value, and affirming the position of high-quality products in the world market. The fair will help open up many opportunities for cooperation with domestic and foreign partners.

According to Mr. Phung Duc Tien, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Environment, VietShrimp 2025 will be a major forum for the "four stakeholders" (the State, scientists, businesses, and farmers) to work together to find solutions, develop the shrimp industry in the right direction, efficiently and sustainably, maintain its position in the world market, and connect all sectors with the world. This is also an opportunity to learn from the experiences and technological advancements of advanced countries to elevate the Vietnamese shrimp industry...

VietShrimp has been held five times: in 2016 and 2018 in Bac Lieu province, in 2021 and 2023 in Can Tho city, and in 2024 in Ca Mau province. Each edition has left a strong impression, demonstrated positive results, and become an important event for the Vietnamese shrimp industry, as well as in Southeast Asia and Asia. At each fair, VietShrimp welcomes tens of thousands of visitors and thousands of delegates to its main seminars.
