CPF is expanding beyond Thailand, biting off a 40 percent stake in Brazilian shrimp producer Camanor, covering ponds stretching over 20 hectares at the site at an investment of BRL 16 million (€3.6 million $4 million).

CPF India, an indirect subsidiary of CP Foods, also purchased a 75 percent stake in Sri Lanka-based Lotus Aquaculture Lanka for $1.5 million (€1.3 million).
