The "shrimp holding a globe" symbol is one of the highlights at Phan Ngoc Hien Square, Ca Mau - a project worth 22 billion VND.

On the afternoon of October 16, Ca Mau province held an inauguration ceremony for works to welcome the first Provincial Party Congress, term 2025 - 2030.

Including Phan Ngoc Hien Square with a total investment of nearly 280 billion VND.

In recent days, the newly completed shrimp-holding-a-globe symbol in the square has become a "hot" check-in spot for Ca Mau residents and tourists from all over.

The image of a giant shrimp rising high in the city center carries a strong message about the desire for development, affirming the position of Ca Mau - the "shrimp capital" of the country.

The project symbolizing a shrimp hugging a globe has an investment of 22 billion VND.

The shrimp symbol is over 20m high, the body is about 14m long, solidly built with reinforced concrete, the outside is covered with stone and high-quality ceramic.

The project is designed in modern 3D, equipped with an artistic lighting system that creates a sparkling effect at night, becoming an impressive highlight in the central space of Phan Ngoc Hien Square.

According to Ca Mau province, the image of "a shrimp holding a globe" means bringing Ca Mau shrimp - the pride of the locality - to the world market.

This is not only a cultural symbol but also an affirmation of the key role of the shrimp industry in the province's marine economic development strategy.

Currently, Ca Mau has the largest shrimp farming area in the country, with nearly 423,000 hectares, accounting for about 40% of Vietnam's shrimp farming area. Shrimp has become a key industry, helping tens of thousands of households to become rich, making an important contribution to the province's economic growth.

In 2025, Ca Mau shrimp exports are expected to reach over 1.4 billion USD, continuing to maintain its top position in the country. The completion of Phan Ngoc Hien Square and the shrimp symbol not only welcomes the Provincial Party Congress, but also marks the aspiration to reach far from the southernmost tip of the country.
