The company started aquaculturing barramundi in Van Phong Bay in 2010 and has grown to be one of the biggest and the most modern ocean fish aquaculturing companies in Vietnam and the world’s largest producer of barramundi. Currently, the company’s seafood output reaches around 10,000 tons/year with four processing factories in Khanh Hoa and around 1,000 workers.
The company is planning to build a modern seafood processing factory in Ninh Thuy Industrial Park (Ninh HoaTown) in 2022.
