The county has made full use of its unique natural resources to develop 1,333 hectares of suitable shrimp farming waters at the pollution-free Longshan and Chenxingzhai river interception hubs, and has attracted private capital investment through external investment promotion, achieving intensive shrimp farming.

The county has increased investment in science and technology to accelerate the pace of artificial shrimp farming. Supported by technology, it has invested over 5 million yuan to establish a shrimp seedling breeding base at Longshan Reservoir, producing more than 200 million shrimp seedlings annually, providing farmers with high-quality, purebred seedlings. Experts and technicians from Southern Henan Agricultural College and Zhejiang have been hired to teach shrimp farming techniques and scientific knowledge. Major shrimp farmers have been organized to visit other areas for learning and to improve farming techniques, enhancing the quality and grade of the shrimp. Relying on leading enterprises such as the Longshan Shrimp Farming Base and Nanwanggang Shrimp Farm, local farmers have been encouraged to leverage resource advantages for artificial shrimp farming, promoting large-scale development of local shrimp farming. This has achieved a one-stop service for seedling hatching, farming, harvesting, sales, and processing, and has entered an integrated model of research, production, and development. The number of shrimp farmers has rapidly increased to over 2,000.

Policy support is provided for shrimp farming to build brand advantages. The county actively applied for origin certification of the shrimp, promoting a green and environmentally friendly image. "Guangshan Green Shrimp" obtained national origin certification from the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine in September 2004. The provincial fisheries bureau promoted "Guangshan Green Shrimp" as one of the three major local branded aquatic products across the province. The county has introduced policies to support shrimp farming households, offering preferential measures in terms of technology, funding, and information to boost farmer enthusiasm. Longshan Reservoir has been designated as an important protected water resource, strictly prohibiting activities that damage water resources and affect fishery and shrimp farming production, thereby alleviating concerns for farming households.
