A flat Mekong Delta province between the Tiền and Hậu rivers; population about 1.0 million (2024). A classic Delta economy of rice, fruit orchards, aquaculture and brick/ceramics. In the 2025 merger it expanded by absorbing the former Bến Tre and Trà Vinh provinces.
Decision No. 37/2024/QD-UBND, issued by the People's Committee of Ben Tre Province on 7 October 2024 and signed by Chairman Tran Ngoc Tam, promulgates economic-technical norms in the fields of crop production, animal husbandry, fisheries and salt production for implementing models and projects in Ben Tre Province. It takes effect from 18 October 2024 and replaces Decision No. 38/2021/QD-UBND of 18 November 2021 on agricultural-extension model norms. The norms apply to agencies, units, organizations and individuals selected or assigned by the State to implement models and projects in the province. Article 2 organizes the norms into four appendices: Appendix I sets 35 crop-production models, including nurseries for rootstocks of durian (18-month cycle, 100,000 seedlings/ha, 461 kg of pure nitrogen, 600 labour days and 20 technician-months per hectare), rambutan, jackfruit, mango and citrus; nursing and grafting of fruit-tree seedlings (e.g., durian: 36,000 rootstocks and 37,800 grafting buds per hectare over five months); ornamental flowers (mum chrysanthemum); tissue-culture ginger and banana; GAP and organic cultivation of green-skin pomelo, longan, rambutan and coconut-citrus intercropping; mango orchard grafting rehabilitation; organic, drinking and industrial coconut; rice under the "three reductions, three gains" technique; organic rice; safe watermelon; groundnut; and leafy and other vegetables. Appendix II sets 21 animal-husbandry models, such as commercial chicken (5-month cycle, 2,000-bird scale, 1 day-old chick and 6 kg of complete feed plus 9 vaccine doses per bird, stocking density 10–12 birds/m2 confined), breeder chicken (18-month cycle), boars for artificial insemination, commercial cattle, commercial rabbits, and growing, processing and preserving green roughage. Appendix III sets 38 aquaculture models covering intensive whiteleg shrimp, black tiger shrimp, mangrove-forest shrimp, clam and blood-cockle tidal-flat culture, pompano, red drum, milkfish, mud crab, seabass, grouper, mudskipper, giant freshwater prawn (intensive, rice-integrated and coconut-garden-integrated), pangasius, snakehead, featherback, snakeskin gourami, climbing perch, hybrid catfish, mudless eel in tanks, frogs, spiny goby, softshell turtle, tilapia, cage-cultured catfish species, black apple snail and white pomfret. Appendix IV contains one salt-production model with a 6-month cycle on 1 ha, specifying machinery (diesel and electric pumps, roller, motorized salt rake, conveyor), materials (1,300 m2 of crystallization-pad plastic sheeting, HDPE-lined brine ponds, PVC piping, Baume hydrometers) and labour of 240 working days plus 8 technician-months. Each model uniformly prescribes equipment, breed/seed and material inputs, labour norms and deployment norms (one training session per site of 30 participants and one wrap-up conference of 40 participants). The Department of Agriculture and Rural Development leads implementation, gathering feedback for the Provincial People's Committee to amend; where cited documents are amended or replaced, the newer versions apply.
