The founders of Sri Lankan shrimp farmer Taprobane Seafood are teaming up with a private investor with ties to international seafood giant Thai Union and a Pakistan-based textile company to build a large new shrimp farm in Pakistan.
Narin Niruttinanon, a director at Thai Union, and Alkaram Textile Mills have joined with Taprobane founders to form Indian Ocean Foods to invest in a vannamei shrimp farming and processing facility in Dhabeji, near the Pakistan capital, Karachi.
Niruttinanon is joining the project as independent investor, and not in connection with Thai Union.
