Mr. Ngo Van De, 46 years old, became one of the 100 outstanding farmers of 2023 for achieving an annual revenue of 140 billion VND thanks to high-tech shrimp farming.
Mr. Đệ, residing in Long Khánh commune, Duyên Hải district, Trà Vinh province, is currently raising shrimp using high-tech methods on an area of over 10 hectares. In the past, he practiced semi-intensive shrimp farming (partially dependent on natural conditions), but the results were unsatisfactory, with a high mortality rate due to disease. In 2015, he gradually shifted to investing in and constructing a high-tech shrimp farming system.
With this method, the shrimp density in the pond increases threefold compared to traditional farming methods (from 50-100 shrimp/m2 to 200-300 shrimp/m2), and the yield also increases two to three times. In addition, shrimp farming technology allows for better control over feed quantities, the environment, and the health of the shrimp.
With revenue of 140 billion VND, after deducting expenses, Mr. De's business model generates a profit of 42 billion VND per year. He also provides income for 40 permanent employees.

Among the 100 outstanding farmers announced today in Hanoi by the Central Committee of the Vietnam Farmers' Association , Mr. De had the highest revenue. In 2022, the outstanding farmer with the highest revenue reached 70 billion VND.
Ms. Bui Thi Thom, Vice President of the Vietnam Farmers' Association, stated that the outstanding farmers of 2023 were selected based on five groups/fields: production and business; rural development; national security; initiatives and inventions; and cooperatives and small and medium-sized private businesses. Based on the summary profiles of the nominated farmers' achievements, the Selection Council analyzed and evaluated them.
This year's results show that 68 farmers were honored in the production and business group. 42 nominees had profits exceeding 3 billion VND, with the highest being a farmer in Ben Tre , achieving 50 billion VND per year.
The ceremony to honor and present titles to 100 outstanding Vietnamese farmers in 2023 will be held at the Hanoi Grand Opera House on the evening of October 13th.
