The essence of "forest scent - sea taste"

Ca Mau currently has more than 400,000 hectares of aquaculture. Besides shrimp, Ca Mau crab has affirmed its brand and economic efficiency. From the land of "fish sauce first, mangroves later", under the canopy of mangrove forests, Ca Mau crab has grown. The harmonious combination of "forest scent" and "sea flavor" creates a type of crab that is considered the best in the country, with firm, sweet meat, rich fat and a unique flavor that cannot be found anywhere else.

Ca Mau crab is characterized by thin shell, big claws, firm and sweet meat.

According to Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Le Van Su, the famous delicious taste of Ca Mau crab not only comes from the favor of nature, but is also the result of the dedication, hard work and experience of the people in the southernmost part of the country.

“The people of Ca Mau, with hundreds of years of experience passed down from generation to generation, have a clear understanding of the crab’s habits. They know how to select good breeds, how to care for them, and especially know when the crabs are of the best quality (firm meat, full of roe) to harvest. We believe that the unique sweetness of Ca Mau crabs is a harmonious combination of the scent of the forest - the taste of the sea, as well as diligence, intelligence and love for the homeland, which has given wings to the specialty of Ca Mau crabs to fly far and firmly position themselves in the hearts of diners both domestically and internationally,” Mr. Le Van Su emphasized.

"Heavenly time, favorable terrain, and harmony of people" have created the Ca Mau crab brand that is famous throughout the country. In 2021, Nam Can - Ca Mau crab was recognized by the Vietnam Record Association (VietKings) in the list of "Top 100 Vietnamese specialties". From this achievement, Ca Mau is taking strategic steps to firmly position the Ca Mau crab brand, including promoting the strong application of science - technology , innovation in the crab industry, especially selecting genetic breeds to preserve quality gene sources.

Mr. Quach Van An, Deputy Director of the Department of Science and Technology, said that preserving the genetic resources of Ca Mau crabs is extremely important, helping to maintain biodiversity and prevent breed degeneration due to crossbreeding or widespread use of breeds, ensuring that the "forest flavor - sea flavor" characteristics are not lost over time. Along with that, techniques will be applied to production, creating more advanced and effective farming models and applying processing technology to preserve the unique flavor of Ca Mau crabs.

Global brand

With an export turnover of nearly 700 million USD/year, the crab industry plays an important role as an economic driving force, providing a stable source of income for thousands of households. In its strategic vision, Ca Mau aims to develop the crab industry along the value chain, in order to bring dual benefits to people and businesses, while protecting the province's precious natural resources.

Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Le Van Su said that instead of focusing only on export turnover or sales of large enterprises, the province prioritizes ensuring stable income and improving the lives of tens of thousands of households directly involved in production, who are attached to crabs and the forest canopy. From there, people have a strong motivation to protect and regenerate mangrove forests - the "green wall" that protects Ca Mau, and at the same time is an ideal living environment that creates the unique quality of Ca Mau crabs.

"The positioning of the Ca Mau crab brand does not stop at just an agricultural product, but we also aim to make Ca Mau crab a symbol of the local cultural ambassador, making its name on the domestic and world culinary map," Mr. Quach Van An emphasized.

The international glory of Ca Mau crab brand is a worthy achievement for the long journey of harmonious combination between nature and human labor. Not simply a dish, Ca Mau crab is now a culinary ambassador, bringing the image of Ca Mau to the world, making the Vietnamese brand shine more brightly on the world map.

"Firm, rich, sweet meat; rich, golden fat and natural, unique flavor" are the compliments that diners give to Ca Mau crab.

It is this flavor that has contributed to "brightening" the image and value of Vietnam on the world map," Mr. Le Van Su proudly shared when talking about Ca Mau crab.
