Dataset on the eco-shrimp farming model and the compliance of shrimp farmers with mangrove conservation recommendations in Ca Mau, Vietnam

Abstract

This article describes data on eco-shrimp farming households in Ca Mau, Vietnam. The survey was conducted in Tam Giang Dong commune, Nam Can district, Ca Mau province from March 2023 to May 2023 with a total of 120 households engaged in eco-shrimp farming. The non-probability convenience sampling method was used to select respondents. Two responses were removed from the dataset due to uncomplete questionnaires. The dataset includes a structured questionnaire with 52 questions, along with a raw data file of 118 responses. The questionnaire collected data on (a) household demographic information, (b) eco-shrimp farming area and pond types, (c) production characteristics for the 2021–2022 eco-shrimp crop, and (d) farmers’ perspectives on the eco-shrimp farming model. The dataset is available in an Excel file format. It is expected to benefit policymakers and local authorities by providing evidence-based insights into the eco-shrimp production model and the compliance of eco-shrimp farmers with mangrove conservation policies.
