Ca Mau is currently housing 27 seafood processing factories, each with a capacity of between 1,000-1,500 tonnes per year. The application of international food quality and safety standards has helped their products penetrate the worldwide market, including Japan, the US and the European Union.

In 2007, local producers netted 159,000 tonnes of seafood and exported 81,000 tonnes of shrimp.
