As part of the agreement, AquaAmérica’s breeding program and genetics will join a portfolio of major tilapia brands, including GenoMar Supreme and Aquabel, which will be managed by Genomar’s research and development team.

BioMar enters feed partnership in Vietnam BioMar and Vietnam’s leading shrimp hatchery Viet-UC have signed a memorandum of understanding with the intention that BioMar will become co-owner and operational leader in the feed factory currently owned by Viet-UC. “We believe that a feed partnership with Viet-UC in
Vietnam will bring important synergies to the feed business as well as the hatchery and grow-out business of Viet-UC. Both companies have a common focus on sustainability, food safety, traceability, quality and performance, which we believe will be strong drivers to strengthen
and develop both companies as well as the aquaculture industry in Vietnam. There is no doubt that there will be a growing market for high-quality feed in Vietnam,” explained Carlos Diaz, CEO of BioMar Group.
