Renewable energy development

Developing renewable energy is not only an inevitable trend, but also a strategic field for Ca Mau to make a breakthrough, becoming the green energy center of the region and the whole country. Linking renewable energy development with the electricity export strategy will contribute to diversifying revenue sources, protecting the environment, promoting the circular economy and deep international integration.

In the 2021-2025 period, Ca Mau is planned and invested in 1,618 MW and has 16 wind power plants put into operation, with a total capacity of 870 MW; along with more than 2,800 rooftop solar power systems, with a total capacity of 295 MWp, making Ca Mau one of the provinces with the highest total renewable energy capacity in the Mekong Delta region.

In order for Ca Mau to become a green energy center of the region and the whole country, Mr. Nguyen Chi Thien, Director of the Department of Industry and Trade, said that in the immediate future, the sector will advise on adjusting the provincial planning, including updating and adjusting highly feasible energy infrastructure development plans. At the same time, propose the Prime Minister and the Ministry of Industry and Trade to adjust the Power Plan VIII, especially adjusting the expansion project of Ca Mau Thermal Power Plant 1 and 2 into an officially planned project.

In addition, the industry and trade sector has established working groups to support and promptly handle difficulties and problems for investors implementing projects, ensuring progress to operate an additional 3,200 MW of LNG power, 2,309 MW of wind power, 100 MW of concentrated solar power and 117 MW of rooftop solar power by 2030.

Developing renewable energy is not only an inevitable trend but also a strategic opportunity for Ca Mau to break through and become the green energy center of the country and the region.

"In the medium and long term, the province will attract investment in new energy projects from renewable energy to keep up with the energy transition roadmap; build infrastructure to ensure sufficient capacity to store and export new energy, aiming to form a specialized renewable energy industrial park. Develop logistics and energy infrastructure associated with Hon Khoai port, attract investment in the field of semiconductor chips and data centers to create a synchronous value chain from production - storage - export of energy," Mr. Nguyen Chi Thien added.

Focus on key industries

In the agricultural economic sector, Ca Mau focuses on solutions to develop clean, high-tech agriculture (mainly shrimp and rice) and make a breakthrough in comprehensive development of the shrimp industry, worthy of being the "shrimp capital" of the country.

Accounting for over 55% of the farming area and nearly 47% of the country's shrimp output, the production structure of Ca Mau's shrimp industry is very diverse, including ecological shrimp under the forest canopy, shrimp - rice, intensive shrimp and high-tech super-intensive shrimp. Of which, 37,000 hectares of ecological shrimp have been granted international ASC, BAP certification; 93,000 hectares of shrimp - rice follow environmentally friendly and sustainable farming methods; more than 10,000 hectares of super-intensive shrimp apply modern technologies such as Biofloc, RAS, IoT, AI, achieving a yield of 40-60 tons/ha/year.

To create a breakthrough in the shrimp industry, in the 2025-2030 term, the agricultural sector strives to expand the high-tech super-intensive farming model to 10,000 hectares, form a high-tech seafood processing center with a capacity of over 200,000 tons/year, develop the brand " Ca Mau Ecological Shrimp " associated with exploiting carbon credits towards the goal of net zero emissions. The shrimp industry value chain will be organized according to the "4-house" linkage model, building at least 10 new-style fisheries cooperative unions.

To create a breakthrough in the shrimp industry, in the 2025-2030 term, Ca Mau strives to expand the high-tech super-intensive farming model to 10,000 hectares.

For the rice industry, strive to have a cultivated area of ​​about 315,000 hectares, of which 93,000 hectares are shrimp-rice areas producing clean rice meeting VietGAP and GlobalGAP standards. The industry will focus on improving quality, converting 100% of the shrimp-rice area to clean, organic production; 70% of the area will be certified with VietGAP and GlobalGAP. Build the brand "Ca Mau rice-shrimp ecological rice" meeting 5-star OCOP standards; invest in a rice processing, packaging and export factory with a capacity of 100,000 tons/year.

Ca Mau plans to concentrate production areas on ecological advantages; develop high-tech agricultural clusters, high-quality rice areas and associate with geographical indications.

" The province will promote the application of science and technology, digital transformation, IoT, AI and big data in production management, deploy electronic traceability throughout the chain and build a data center for the shrimp-rice region. Infrastructure serving production will be invested synchronously, especially the two-way irrigation system, fishing ports, processing plants and seafood logistics centers. At the same time, focus on developing the brands "Ca Mau Ecological Shrimp", "Clean Rice - Shrimp", and expanding export markets ", said Mr. Pham Van Muoi, Deputy Director of the Department of Agriculture and Environment.

The agricultural sector focuses on improving quality, striving to convert 100% of rice and shrimp growing areas to clean, organic production.

With the right orientation, appropriate policies and the participation of the entire political system, Ca Mau is determined to create a breakthrough for two economic spearheads, creating a solid development foundation to rise up to become a dynamic economic center of the region, the southernmost green growth pole of the country.
