After being raised on a trial basis at Taiwan-based shrimp farms for over a year, the Mebi One shrimp post-larvae have met the growth criteria and expectations of farm owners.
Kim Hoang Quang Nam and its partner Yong Sing Seafoods Co. Ltd. then signed a commercial agreement to ship Mebi One shrimp post-larvae to the Taiwanese market.

At the signing ceremony, Yong Sing Seafoods placed an order for 2.5 million Mebi One shrimp post-larvae worth US$10,000, with the value expected to reach $300,000 in the 2024-25 period.
This is believed to pave the way for Mebi One shrimp post-larvae to enter more demanding shrimp markets in Asia.
Mebi One shrimp post-larvae are produced at Kim Hoang Quang Nam’s 8.5-hectare facility in Thang Binh’s Binh Nam Commune, with an annual output of five billion shrimps.
