In late 2021, seafood giant Thai Union began piloting the use of satellite imaging for shrimp farming operations in collaboration with satellite data analytics company Sea Warden and supply chain traceability company Wholechain.
The main goal of the pilot was to generate Key Data Elements (KDEs) for shrimp farms that are automated, independently verifiable and cost effective.
Integrated with traceability technology, the KDEs collected through satellite imaging have the potential to support sustainable farming practices through insights into shrimp populations, farm health, contamination and more.
