Comparison Between Earthen Ponds and Lined Ponds for Shrimp Farming
I. EARTHEN POND SHRIMP FARMING MODEL
- Earthen ponds have larger areas, making environmental management more challenging and less effective, leading to higher disease prevalence.
- The success rate for shrimp farming in earthen ponds is only 30%, a very low and risky figure.
- The breakeven rate for shrimp farming in earthen ponds is 30%.
- The risk rate, where farming results in significant losses, is 40%.

Production Costs:
- Feed accounts for 62%.
- Medicine and chemicals 15%.
- Electricity and water 6%.
- Labor 5%.
- Equipment depreciation 6%.
- Seed 6%.
=> The operational input cost for shrimp farming in earthen ponds after 3 months is approximately 90,000 - 100,000 VND/kg (size 45 shrimp/kg). Therefore, the market price for shrimp must be higher than 100,000 VND/kg.
II. LINED POND SHRIMP FARMING MODEL
- Lined ponds are smaller in size, making it easier to control the pond environment and reduce disease.
- The success rate for shrimp farming in lined ponds is 70%, a very impressive figure.

Production Costs:
- Feed accounts for 50%.
- Medicine and chemicals 20%.
- Electricity and water 10%.
- Labor 5%.
- Equipment depreciation 10%.
- Seed 5%.
=> The operational input cost for shrimp farming in lined ponds after 3 months is approximately 70,000 - 90,000 VND/kg (size 25-40 shrimp/kg). Thus, the input cost for lined pond shrimp farming is lower than that for earthen ponds.
