In the upcoming time, tiger shrimp price in the Mekong River delta remains high because factories are urgently purchasing materials for export. According to preliminary statistics, in most Mekong River Delta provinces, shortage of shrimp is popular. According to Shrimp Processing Association of Ca Mau, currently most seafood processors operate with 60-70% of capacity due to shortage of materials. Shrimp price in the Central Coast is likely to rise because supplies have not been well again after storms.
