Bac Shrimp and Thai Union have finalized a cooperation agreement to distribute shrimp feed that meets the rigorous standards set by the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC), making Bac Shrimp the first ASC-certified shrimp feed distributor in Asia, situated within Vietnam.

ASC-Certified Shrimp Feed Arrives in Vietnam

Thai Union’s premium shrimp feed is now readily available in Vietnam through a partnership with Silver Shrimp. This feed is directly imported from Thai Union’s Mahachai factory in Thailand, which notably holds the distinction of being the first ASC-certified factory in Asia.

The introduction of Thai Union’s ASC-certified shrimp feed in Vietnam is expected to significantly benefit local shrimp farmers. By meeting international farming standards, facilitated by ASC-certified feed, farmers can enhance the quality and competitiveness of their shrimp products. Moreover, this development provides a foundation for elevating the selling price of commercial shrimp, thereby bolstering economic outcomes for aquaculture enterprises.

Tailored Nutrition for Optimal Growth

Thai Union’s shrimp feed line offers a comprehensive range of options, featuring seven different sizes and nutritional compositions tailored to each stage of shrimp growth. This diversity ensures that farmers can optimize nutrition throughout the growth cycle, promoting faster growth rates, improved food conversion efficiency, and ultimately, enhanced shrimp health and development.

The Thai Union shrimp feed is distinguished by its advanced technology, designed to uphold water quality and environmental sustainability. Notably, the feed’s slow dissolution properties contribute to cleaner water conditions, reduced food wastage, and a stable farming environment. This efficient nutrient delivery system ensures that each pellet retains its nutritional integrity, maximizing economic efficiency for shrimp farmers.
