Development of community-based model of male shrimp-rice cultivation in the Northern Area of Highway 1A, Bac Lieu province.
The project is implemented by the Bac Lieu Farmer?s Aquiculture from April 2018 to June 2020. The project is aimed at achieving the following objectives:
- Objective 1: To improve the accessibility to, and the deployment of new scientific and technological advancements of local farmers to enable them to identify potential risks and difficulties in production process. And enhance local officials? capacity to work together with local farmers to develop a stable and sustainable rice-prawn farming model.
- Objective 2: To develop a community-based model for rotating and inter-cultivating male giant prawns with rice farming through such activities as the organization of farmer field school (FFS) workshops; the demonstration of the rice-prawn rotational and inter-cultivation model in wet-rice fields; and the establishment of a rice-prawn production cooperative and/or group.
- Objective 3: To deploy the transfer of scientific and technical advances to local farmers in the project area and/or the crop-structure shifting areas in Bac Lieu and neighboring provinces through the publication and dissemination of technical materials, leaflets and posters on the rice-prawn rotating and inter-cultivating model; and a radio-television bulletin on the model for broadcasting.
- Objective 4: Review and evaluate results of the model to draw lessons learned; and propose relevant solutions to the replication and transfer of effective land, water and biodiversity resources utilization models to develop sustainable rice-prawn production in salt and acid soil areas within coastal mixed salt-fresh waters of the Mekong Delta.
In order to achieve the above objectives, the project will implement the following activities:
i. Develop and improve technical procedures for rotating and inter-cultivating male giant freshwater prawns in rice fields.
ii. Develop a model for rotating and inter-cultivating male giant freshwater prawns in rice fields (100 households / 50 ha).
iii. Carry out an environmental sampling
iv. Provide ten FFS training courses for 300 farmers (30 farmers /course).
v. Provide eight ToT courses in capacity building for 20 core farmers.
vi. Organize two study-visits to advanced rice-prawn farming models in the vicinity for local staff and farmers.
vii. Establish two rice-prawn farming cooperative groups with 30 members each.
viii. Organize eight FFS workshops for 320 farmers in the project area (40 participants each).
ix. Organize a contest on excellent farmers.
x. In collaboration with the provincial/district Radio and Television Stations, disseminate information about the project activities. It is expected that ten articles and/or bulletins and two television bulletins on the project shall be broadcast.
xi. 100 technical booklets, 100 leaflets and two posters shall be produced to disseminate relevant information about the model.
xii. A project preliminary (mid-term) performance progress review report shall be prepared to draw lessons learned to better implement the second phase of the project (2019).
xiii. A survey on the efficiency of household scaled rice-prawn production shall be conducted after the project implementation.
xiv. A final report on the model shall be prepared to assess the success of the project, thereby drawing lessons and recommendations for stable and sustainable model development and replication in the coming years.
xv. An agricultural extension forum on the theme "Solutions to the development of a stable and sustainable rice-prawn farming model" shall be held.
