Food incidents have led to the increase in demand for food products certified by an international quality assurance certification of consumers all over the world. Shrimp is an important daily food product. As one of the largest shrimp production countries with the export-orientation, Vietnamese shrimp producers have to consider applying for the international quality assurances certifications to be able to satisfy the requirements of global consumers, and access to global markets, especially the high-standard markets such as the US, EU, and Japan. Despite the significant benefits obtained from the international quality assurance certifications, the application schemes for Vietnamese shrimp products were limited. It was due to the lack of awareness of the financial benefits of getting quality assurance certification for a multiplicity of shrimp farmers. This study aims to investigate the effects of application for international quality assurance certifications on the profit of Vietnamese shrimp farms. The Tobit regression model has been explored to achieve the purposive study. Found results indicated that the application for quality assurance certification might increase the profitability of shrimp farmers (p < 0.05), proposed this might be a meaningful alternative to improve the financial efficiency, and to call for the willingness to apply for international quality assurances certification of shrimp farmers. Besides that, other influencing factors, including cultivation methods, production costs, and farm-gate price, have been found as the significant determinants affecting the shrimp farm’s profit (p < 0.05). This suggests that a well-management in financial indicators might generate a better profit for shrimp farms.

食品事件导致对通过全球消费者国际质量保证认证的食品的需求增加。虾是重要的日常食品。作为以出口为导向的最大的虾类生产国之一，越南虾类生产商必须考虑申请国际质量保证证书，以便能够满足全球消费者的需求并进入全球市场，尤其是高标准市场例如美国，欧盟和日本。尽管从国际质量保证认证中获得了巨大收益，但越南虾产品的申请方案仍然有限。这是由于缺乏对众多虾农获得质量保证证书所带来的经济利益的认识。这项研究旨在调查国际质量保证证书的申请对越南虾养殖场的利润的影响。已经探索了Tobit回归模型以实现目的性研究。结果表明，申请质量保证证书可能会提高虾农的盈利能力（p <0.05），建议这可能是提高财务效率并呼吁对虾养殖者申请国际质量保证证书的一种有意义的选择。除此之外，还发现其他影响因素，包括种植方法，生产成本和养殖场价格，是影响虾养殖场利润的重要决定因素（p <0.05）。这表明对财务指标的良好管理可能为虾养殖场带来更好的利润。
