After the storm, people who sell shrimp in Nghe An are excited because of a good harvest and good prices.

After the storm, when the sea level receded, hundreds of fishermen in the coastal areas of Nghe An were busy pushing shrimp along the shore. With only rudimentary tools, each trip to the sea lasted 15-20 minutes, and they collected dozens of kilograms of fresh shrimp. The price of shrimp increased due to scarcity, bringing a significant source of income to fishermen after days off from the sea to avoid the storm.

Traders buy shrimp right on the beach at 15,000 - 16,000 VND/kg, twice as high as the main season, due to scarce supply after the storm. Photo: TP

Mr. Ho Trong Dat, a long-time fisherman in Quynh Anh commune, who has been involved in the shrimp fishing profession for more than 30 years, shared: "Pulling a net to catch shrimp requires strength and experience. Every morning, I try to make 3-4 trips."
