Thai Union Feedmill Public Company Limited (TFM), a leading Thai manufacturer and distributor of aquafeed and economical animal feed, strengthens its regional presence by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with partners from Bangladesh. The collaboration aims to support technology transfer from Thailand’s advanced aquaculture sector and enhance the global competitiveness of aquatic animal production in line with sustainable standards.

According to Peerasak Boonmechote, Chief Executive Officer of Thai Union Feedmill Public Company Limited (TFM), the company has been steadily expanding its regional footprint. Most recently, TFM entered into an MOU with Bangladeshi partners to jointly develop and advance the aquaculture industry, covering whiteleg shrimp, black tiger shrimp, giant freshwater prawn, and barramundi.

The signing ceremony was attended by H.E. Faiyaz Murshid Kazi, Ambassador of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh to Thailand, alongside Syed Mahmudul Huq, Chairman of the Bangladesh Shrimp and Fish Foundation (BSFF), and Hathai Nantatong, Director – Feed Commercial, representing Thai Union Feedmill Public Company Limited.

The collaboration focuses on enhancing high–economic–value aquatic products, including whiteleg shrimp, black tiger shrimp, giant freshwater prawn, and barramundi. Under the agreement, TFM will contribute to expanding regional business and marketing networks in high-growth markets, transferring knowledge, technology, innovation, and Thailand’s internationally recognised aquaculture standards. The partnership also aims to strengthen value chains that emphasise environmental and social responsibility, while improving product quality to meet global benchmarks and supporting long-term food security and sustainable growth in both countries.

“This collaboration is not only an expansion of TFM’s business opportunities, but also a testament to the global recognition of Thailand’s aquaculture standards. We firmly believe that sharing knowledge and expertise will lead to positive transformation in the aquaculture industries of both countries,” Boonmechote said.
