Charoen Pokphand Foods Ltd. (CP Foods) has announced the grand opening of its sustainable shrimp farm, Homegrown Shrimp USA, located in Indiantown, Florida. This marks a significant step for the Thai agriculture firm as it expands its presence in the developed market of the United States while maintaining a strong focus on sustainability. The inauguration was attended by H.E. Mr. Tanee Sangrat, Ambassador of Thailand to the U.S., and a staff from the Embassy. The indoor farming method used by Homegrown Shrimp USA results in antibiotic-free, environmentally friendly products that are not affected by unpredictable weather or pollution. The facility is staffed by a team of young American aqua culturists supported by an experienced Thai team in innovation that will bring efficient and cutting-edge shrimp farming home to the United States. The Ambassador commended the achievement of Homegrown Shrimp USA, which reflects CP Foods' commitment to advancing sustainable shrimp cultivation that aligns with Thailand's Bio-Circular-Green Economy Model (BCG). Homegrown Shrimp USA is an advanced, land-based sustainable aquaculture facility that produces fresh, natural, and healthy shrimp with zero impact on coastal environments. Homegrown Shrimp USA produces the highest quality farm-to-fork shrimp from a landlocked system with no chemicals, no antibiotics, and is 100% environmentally friendly. Since the farm is indoors, it is not subject to the unpredictable weather or pollution that can impact traditional shrimp farming. Therefore, it has zero impact on coastal environments and wildlife, and 100% of the water used is recycled.

            The sustainable shrimp farm is part of CP Foods' strategy to enhance its presence in the United States while promoting sustainable development practices. CP Foods' commitment to sustainability is reflected in the company's use of advanced technology to produce food in an environmentally friendly and socially responsible manner. The company has been recognized for its commitment to sustainability by the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) and other international sustainability rankings. The launch of Homegrown Shrimp USA marks a significant milestone in CP Foods' ongoing commitment to sustainable development and responsible business practices. As a leading agriculture firm, CP Foods is committed to promoting sustainable practices in all of its operations, and the new shrimp farm in Indiantown, Florida, is a prime example of this commitment in action.
