According to the Vice Chairman of Ca Mau Provincial People's Committee, Le Van Su, Ca Mau's crab farming scale is the highest in the country. The average annual crab output value of Ca Mau in recent years is over 10,000 billion VND. From 2023, crabs will be the leading key commodity, second only to shrimp. Currently, each farming area has also built its brand. Each business establishment's crab has a traceability stamp attached. Vietnam's live Ca Mau crabs have been exported to China, the US, and Japan markets, but the output is still quite low. The province also supports businesses connecting trade to find large export orders.
King Cua is a brand specializing in trading and developing products from Ca Mau crab with the King Crab restaurant chain, King Crab Bike (kiosk) chain and King Banh Canh chain. Before exporting frozen pre-processed Ca Mau crab, King Cua successfully exported sauces to the US.
