TFM Responds to Government Policy, Supporting Thailand’s Shrimp Industry Advancing Production Standards and Empowering Farmers Toward “Smart & Sustainable Farming” in 2026

Bangkok – February 2, 2026 – Thai Union Feedmill Public Company Limited (TFM), a leading producer and distributor of aquaculture and economic animal feed in Thailand, is aligning with government policies to jointly drive Thailand’s shrimp industry forward in 2026 toward “Smart & Sustainable Farming.” The company emphasizes the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies to enhance production efficiency and positions itself as a “Solution Partner” standing alongside Thai farmers to strengthen their global competitiveness.

Mr. Peerasak Boonmechote, Chief Executive Officer of Thai Union Feedmill Public Company Limited (TFM), stated that the government’s policy to promote Thailand’s shrimp industry toward Smart & Sustainable Farming—with a focus on improving production efficiency through technology and innovation to reduce costs, enhance competitiveness, and elevate farmers’ quality of life sustainably—is fully aligned with TFM’s business direction.

TFM has continuously developed innovative aquaculture feeds while upgrading its production lines using Industry 4.0 technologies. Beyond being a feed manufacturer, TFM aspires to be a “Solution Partner,” walking side by side with farmers to ensure stable and sustainable growth.

At the same time, the company has advanced the “Lower Carbon Shrimp” project under Thai Union Group’s SeaChange® sustainability strategy, promoting low‑carbon shrimp farming through practical approaches such as reducing energy costs and supporting the adoption of solar energy (solar cells). These initiatives help lower electricity expenses, reduce carbon emissions, and improve farmers’ profitability, ultimately leading to expanded shrimp farming and increased feed demand in the long term.

In addition, TFM places strong emphasis on sourcing raw materials for shrimp feed that are non‑deforestation, responding to global sustainability trends and enhancing traceability. This strengthens market opportunities and enables cold storage operators to sell products more easily to leading global partners.

Mr. Peerasak added that although overall shrimp production in 2026 may be similar to recent years, the company is confident that if farmers can farm efficiently and successfully, opportunities to expand production will arise in the future. The cold storage industry is also benefiting from increased orders for premium sushi‑grade shrimp (70–80 pieces per kilogram), as Thai shrimp continues to be widely recognized for its quality.

Regarding product strategy for 2026, TFM plans to aggressively enter the market with new innovations to strengthen the entire value chain, including development of nursery shrimp feed, feed formulas that enhance immunity and reduce reliance on antibiotics and feed solutions that improve survival rates and meet export quality standards. TFM continues to focus on producing feed in accordance with international standards, particularly the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) standard, reinforcing the strength of Thailand’s aquaculture feed industry. TFM’s factory was the first in Asia to receive ASC Feed Standard certification.

At the same time, the company has set clear directions to increase the proportion of non‑deforestation raw materials and to support farmers’ access to carbon footprint data of TFM’s aquaculture feeds. This enhances transparency throughout the entire value chain, from feed mills and cold storage facilities to retailers and consumers.

“TFM’s goal is not merely to sell aquaculture feed, but to support shrimp farmers in farming efficiently, increasing profitability, and growing sustainably. When farmers thrive, Thailand’s shrimp and shrimp feed industries will be able to grow together with strength and stability,” Mr. Peerasak concluded.
