Value chain finance refers to financial services provided to actors within an agricultural value chain. It aims to address capital needs, secure sales and purchases, reduce risks, and improve efficiency. This holistic approach involves analyzing the value chain to identify optimal financing points, allowing capital to flow both upstream and downstream within the chain. To support sustainable shrimp farming in the Mekong Delta, the “Sustainable and Equitable Shrimp Value Chain Development in Vietnam (SusV)” project, funded by the European Union under the SWITCH Asia programme, was implemented from 2016–2019 in Cà Mau, Bạc Liêu, and Sóc Trăng provinces. The project aims to promote economic development and poverty reduction by improving the social and environmental impacts of shrimp farming and processing. It also focuses on improving access to finance, enhancing production efficiency, empowering small-scale shrimp farmers, and advocating for sustainable production standards in government value chain finance policies. The project adopts a multi-stakeholder approach involving the public sector, private enterprises, NGOs, and civil society.
