This study contributes to clarifying the theory on factors affecting the development of shrimp farming, quantifying the impact of the factors affecting shrimp culture development, and successfully building a research model for the relationship between the factors affecting shrimp culture development applied within a region or the whole country. This study aims to identify and evaluate factors affecting shrimp farming development to then suggest some policy changes to improve shrimp farming models, thus raising farmer household income and contributing to the development of the local economy. To supplement the lack of secondary data, primary data is used along with the author’s choice of sampling conditions and size of the study: 300 observations. The study surveyed 300 farmers with linear structural equation modeling (SEM) to analyze factors in the research model, and the result showed that the proposed factors in the research model - except labor factors, which are not sufficient to determine the impact - did have an influence on shrimp farming development; therefore, further research with a larger sample of the labor force in shrimp farming is needed.
