TARS 2012- Shrimp Aquaculture - Shaping the Value Chain
Shrimp aquaculture has crossed the threshold to become an industrial business with a value chain starting from breeding and genetic selection, hatchery; farming and health management; feeds and feeding; and processing to marketing and branding. However, this value chain suffers from challenges within each of its segments to the integration of all these segments.
The global nature of shrimp trade has also meant that economic uncertainties and vulnerabilities emerge at the complex intersection of changing market conditions, such as food safety and quality standards, and the threat of disease incidences.
As one of the industry''s foremost opinion-leading events, TARS 2012 aims to take a holistic approach to tackle these challenges. The meeting presents a neutral forum for multiple stakeholders to come together, and through shared knowledge and expertise, provide substantial input to improve and ensure the sustainability of shrimp production in Asia.
