Discover The Rice-Shrimp Model In Kien Giang With Baconco

Do you want to double your productivity while still protecting coastal agricultural land? The rice-shrimp model with nutritional solutions from Baconco may be the answer.

Introducing the rice-shrimp model in Kien Giang

In the coastal provinces of the Mekong Delta, especially Kien Giang, the rice-shrimp model has become one of the effective dual farming solutions, helping farmers take advantage of natural resources and adapt to climate change. By rotating between rice cultivation in the rainy season and shrimp farming in the dry season, farmers can make the most of the land area, while doubling their income compared to traditional farming.

However, for this model to be highly effective and sustainable, it is necessary to overcome many challenges in terms of soil conditions, harsh climate, and increasingly serious saline and alum soil conditions.

The rice-shrimp farming model is considered a smart solution in the context of increasingly complex saline intrusion and extreme weather. With flexible changes between the two forms of agricultural production, the land has time to rest, improve structure and minimize diseases on both rice and shrimp.

• Reduce production costs: Farmers save water, fertilizers and pesticides because the ecosystem is naturally balanced.
• Increase economic efficiency: Two types of products can be harvested in one year, optimizing income.
• Soil improvement: Shrimp helps wash away salt, while straw and fertilizer from rice help improve the bottom of shrimp ponds.
• Environmental protection: Reduce emissions and limit water pollution.

However, the reality of farming in coastal areas such as the rice-shrimp area of ​​Kien Giang still faces many obstacles.

Specific difficulties in the Kien Giang rice-shrimp area

1. Harsh climate

• Strong winds and heavy rains cause rice plants to easily fall over, weaken stems, and significantly reduce productivity.

2. High salinity

• The soil is saline all year round, especially in the dry season, making it impossible for plant roots to absorb nutrients effectively. At the same time, high salinity also negatively affects shrimp growth in the dry season.

3. Accumulation of alum

• The soil is often wet, combined with heavy rainfall, increasing the risk of toxic alum, affecting the ability of roots to develop and the process of absorbing nutrients of plants.
• These factors make rice yields in the dual cropping model unstable if there are no effective and suitable soil improvement solutions.
