“These days, all members of my family are involved in the trade.
“My two sons and I go to sea, while my wife dries shrimp in the sun to sell tothe traders.”
Fishermen, after pulling in their nets full of shrimp, they will return toshore. Then a fisherman will use a small conical boat to carry the shrimpashore and sell to traders on the beach.
The price of fresh shrimp ranges from 20,000-30,000 VND (1.3 USD) per kg, anddried tiny shrimp from 60,000-90,000 VND per kg. Four kilos of fresh shrimp cancreate 1kg of dried shrimp.
