4 Main (i) to evaluate socioeconomic current status and roles of shrimp industry; (ii) to analyze shrimp value chain and to
Objectives propose upgrading strategies for shrimp value chain; and (iii) to determine the roles and effect of regulations and
policies to sustainable development of shrimp industry in the Mekong Delta.
The study will focus on topic of “Quality management of shrimp industry in the Mekong Delta” with specific
objectives as follow: i) to determine current status and roles of shrimp industry; ii) to evaluate small-scale shrimp
production models in the Mekong Delta; iii) to analyze quality management processes in shrimp value chain in the
Mekong Delta; iv) to built upgrading strategies for shrimp value chain in the Mekong Delta.
