ANALYSIS

Strengths
  • MARD legislation supports the adoption of area-based approaches to planning and disease management within the shrimp sector.
Weaknesses
  • There is no publicly available copy of the PPC action plan for the Soc Trang shrimp sector and it is unclear if shrimp farming areas identified under the legislation should be based on carrying capacity studies.
