The Mekong Delta, particularly Dong Thap province, is recognised for its significant potential for crocodile farming. Recently signed protocols between Vietnam and China have opened substantial opportunities for the country's crocodile industry, fostering sustainable and stable development.
The opening of the Chinese market for crocodile exports from Vietnam will create a great opportunity for this sector to grow faster and more sustainably, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Phung Duc Tien told the media on September 4.
In the first nine months of 2018, exports of crocodile and crocodile leather products in Ho Chi Minh City doubled the figures from the previous year’s period.
