Leadership Team

Our business is premium seafood for conscious consumers.

At King Prawn, we know a lot about shrimp farming. We're deeply passionate about its potential to drive a sustainable, ethical model for the seafood industry. We also know what can happen to local traditions when supplies are curtailed in response to regulatory action or environmental concerns. This will be an ongoing struggle for fishermen, exporters and consumers alike.

Safe, healthy, nutritious food brings families, friends and colleagues together. It serves as a precious bond for local communities and healthy lifestyles — just as food scarcity and food quality are being held under deeper scrutiny and increasing consumer awareness.

As global citizens, we're obligated to make every effort to ensure a prosperous, plentiful future for generations who depend on what we accomplish next.
