Vietnamese shrimp farming giant Minh Phu appointed Japanese-based Mitsui Deputy Director of Food Suzuki Yoshiaki as its new deputy general director, a few months after Mitsui bought a 35.1 percent stake in Minh Phu.

The recommendation came from Mitsui's Director of the Food Department Matsuoka Taishi, Vietnam News reported.

Yoshiaki started his new role in Minh Phu on July 8 for a two-year period.
