ABSTRACT
The project "Application of IoT technology and sensor network in environmental management solutions and improving the efficiency of rice - shrimp farming model in An Bien district, Kien Giang province" was conducted from December 2019 to January 2022 to develop and refine technical operation processes, environmental management, and increasing profitability for rice - shrimp farming in An Bien district, Kien Giang province. The survey results indicated that the shrimp-rice production method combines traditional farming practices, mainly based on local folk experience. In the experimental application of IoT technology and sensor network for environmental management in the shrimp-rice farming area, data from 4 observation stations installed in Tây Yên A, Nam Thái - Nam Yên, and Nam Thái A village, combined with web-based data management software and mobile provided rapid and convenient support for local management officials and farmers in monitoring environmental conditions in the rice shrimp farming areas. The technological solutions have been effectively applied by farming households. The financial efficiency analysis of the experimental shrimp-rice model using IoT technology and sensor network in A Bien has demonstrated high profit cost ratio, ranging from 285.5% to 327.6% in practice.
