Shrimp price crises, diseases, and the preservation of shrimp producers' livelihoods are among the numerous obstacles that the global shrimp industry is currently encountering. The 2024 Shrimp Summit convened hundreds of experts, scientists, and key executives from prominent global seafood corporations to exchange and deliberate on practical and comprehensive solutions, with a consistent emphasis on "climate change adaptation" and "sustainability." These discussions were highly engaging, vibrant, and provided a variety of perspectives on critical industry topics.

Viet Uc, a prominent organization in the Vietnamese shrimp industry, was invited by TCRS to send representatives to share the practical story of sustainable shrimp farming in Vietnam over the past 23 years. This included sustainable genetics, sustainable shrimp seed, intensive sustainable shrimp farming, and sustainable shrimp processing.

Viet Uc is resolute in its commitment to investing in and researching the application of technology to lead the market in shrimp seed and expand into other areas, despite the numerous challenges the shrimp industry faces.

At present, Viet Uc has implemented a closed-loop system that encompasses genetic research and broodstock shrimp breeding centers, high-tech shrimp hatcheries with state-of-the-art infrastructure throughout the nation, sustainable commercial shrimp farming models with stringent biosecurity protocols, and processing sectors that contribute significant value to exported shrimp products.

The quality and value of the products have been improved by the closed-loop "Farm-to-Fork" chain.

Viet Uc played a role in the dissemination of positive perspectives regarding the Vietnamese seafood industry's transformation and its potential for growth to become a global leader at this international event.

All of these activities fostered a positive environment for learning and connection.
