The infrastructure includes 6 roads with a length of more than 18km; about 24km of 3-phase medium voltage power lines and many bridges and culverts in the project. The infrastructure is intended to serve about 2,000 hectares of high-tech shrimp in Ba Tri district.

In Binh Dai district, the project will start construction in September 2024 with a total investment of about 80 billion VND.

In Thanh Phu district alone, the total investment capital is the largest at about 300 billion VND. Currently, the Management Board of Investment Projects for Construction of Agricultural Works and Rural Development of Ben Tre province is making a proposal for implementation in the period 2026-2030.

According to the resolution of Ben Tre Provincial Party Committee, by 2025, the province strives to raise 4,000 hectares of high-tech shrimp.

After more than 3 years of implementation, Ben Tre has developed more than 3,430 hectares, reaching 85.76% of the plan; shrimp farming output is estimated at 160,188 tons. To develop a high-tech shrimp farming model, the province has recently focused on investing in infrastructure for farming areas in coastal localities.
