Malaysia's shrimp aquaculture industry has grown significantly over the past decade, becoming one of the most important sectors in the country's agricultural economy. With over 15,000 hectares of shrimp farms across the country, Malaysia produces approximately 50,000 metric tons of shrimp annually.

The industry faces various challenges including water quality management, disease prevention, and market volatility. However, with proper sustainable practices and government support, Malaysian shrimp farmers can achieve both economic success and environmental responsibility.

Sustainable shrimp farming is not just about environmental responsibility; it's about ensuring long-term profitability and food security for Malaysia.
