Brunei-based seafood processing firm Golden Corporation has unveiled plans to boost its output of organic blue shrimps and expand its range of products by early 2015 in China and Japan

The company said that it has acquired two million sq km of land at Kampong Penyatang located at Tutong district of Brunei to breed organic blue shrimps.

The seafood processing firm would also increase its annual production of organic blue shrimps from 1,000 metric tonnes to 5,000 metric tonnes by 2017.

Golden Corporation’s MD Richard Chuang Hsi Shan said, “There are four zones at the shrimp farm and we are hoping to get Zone A fully running and operational by the beginning of 2015.”

Shan added that the setting up of the farm to breed organic blue shrimps is in line with the company’s thrust to increase annual production and to meet increasing demand for the organic crustaceans.
