Following the $153 million (€137 million) investment in Vietnamese shrimp giant Minh Phu, Mitsui has seafood on its radar, with "seafood integrators such as salmon and tuna" operations holding most potential, an exec with the Japanese conglomerate told IntraFish.
"We are always looking for any opportunities globally," said the spokesperson, who wished to remain anonymous.
Mitsui's investment in Minh Phu will "enable the shrimp producer to expand sales and achieve further growth through the application of digital technology and AI in farming ponds and processing plants," said the source.
