This research aims to analyze the financial situation of farming households and propose solutions to improve the value chain of giant freshwater prawn (GFP). The 224 actors participating in the GFP value chain were surveyed for analysis. The results show that the value chain of GFP in Ben Tre province is primarily domestic and has 03 distribution channels. Of which, 80% of shrimp production is consumed through distribution channels: shrimp farmers ¬- collectors, small purchasing warehouses - provincial wholesale markets, Ho Chi Minh City wholesale markets - domestic consumption. Giant freshwater prawn farming is profitable for farmers, generating an average profit of 71.62 thousand VND/kg. The farmers sell all GFP products to collectors and achieve the highest profit proportion (from 47.87 - 64.16%). Howvever, the shrimp farmers in the study mostly cultivate on small farms and are facing several difficulties, including high prices for shrimp seeds but low quality, lack of production capital, and unstable commercial shrimp prices.
