LOT'S CRAB "CONTAIN" DOLLARS

Crab peeling holding just picked up limp, his two Tram - senior livestock farmers shelled crab in Phuoc Lai (Giuoc, Long An) cheerfully: "Is the crab peeling Giuoc people we do not only the specialties of the many great restaurants in Saigon, which today are made both to the West Giuoc the lower districts of Long An province, once "famous" because of poverty, to seven months a year with saltwater. People just rely on seasonal crops, but yields are very low (approximately 5-7 bushels / public). Year round Telecom, households have earned enough to eat is ... blessed already. Yet, the crab peeling did "change your life" people. About this we hear the "progenitors" tells: In the beginning there were people caught crab brought back drop, see crabs that shed be back very fast growth should allow animal testing. After briefly see shelled crab farming prospects, some households looking to buy extra crabs squabbled about farming and succeeded. By the early 1990s, the movement in Giuoc shelled crab culture began to develop.

One of the initiators of the movement in the region is Mr. Xu Cong Hai (hamlet Ditch Chai). After a few dark-winning crop, he was popular and mobilize many people in the neighborhood and culture and has about 40 households in shelled crab farming. Seeing many successful crab farms profitable, farmers Phuoc Lai, Phuoc Vinh Dong, Vinh Phuoc West ... also started rushing to feed. Just a few years later, the area was shelled crab farming soared to nearly 100 ha with about 200-300 farming households involved. Crab seed sources mainly buy from the provinces of Ca Mau, Tra Vinh, Bac Lieu ... According to Mr. Hai, the time people hit by dark-shelled crab farming by purchasing seed cheap (only about 15 - VND17,000 / kg) while shelled crab price type I (100 grams / piece) sometimes up to 120,000 VND / kg. Thanks so much interest income households from 5-10 million / service was normal. Mr. Hai Tram - Head of peeling crab Phuoc Lai said: "Earlier in my commune, only about 100 households, the average size of about 1-2000 m2 / household. Then saw crab effectively increase people start farming area to 7-8000 m2 / household. Especially with many who became his mistress boldly raising investment capital and export tens shelled crab pond ... "

Nguyen Van Trung (Tan Thanh B Hamlet, Phuoc Lai) said: "Now is the time for playing Ray so much winning shelled crab seller, the price scales for barn owners have now shot up to 150000-180000 VND / kg. If enough goods on sale and supply for export, the dollars pour spoiled ". According to Trung, the product never shelled crab "slopes" culminated today. The reason is rare because shelled crab restaurant from April to October each year is supposed adversity, rainfall, upstream water was very turbid down hard crab farming and vulnerable. So farmers often focus only on the main season (from November to April the following year) in water, is easy to buy crab varieties. Breeding season generally less risky but lower price.

Talking to us, Nguyen Huu Giang Farmers Union staff (HND) Giuoc excited District: This is the profession ... instant noodles for only a dozen days to harvest. Shelled crab also high yielding, each day about 5- 7 tonnes / district, with the production teams can now supply the market regularly to the city from 1-1.5 tonnes / day. But the area is increasing, the amount of crab breeding varieties increasingly lacking, people had to "hunt" foreign accent (like Thailand, Myanmar ...) accept higher prices like domestic crabs breed. Happily recently a DN from HCMC to question the investment of seed production and procurement contract directly with people. This is the new direction opens up many prospects for crab farming in the district.
