A reception
was held recently at the Thai Embassy to extol the virtues of Thai shrimp.
For the past
decade, Thailand has been a major producer of shrimp to the world
especially to the European market. Thai shrimp farmers and processing
companies have worked hard to live up to expectations not only in
producing the quality shrimp also in research and development to
ensure quality for the future.
The reception
introduced two new shrimp products : one is Thai cooked head shell on
vannamei shrimp in salted water and the other is Thai fresh chilled shrimp.
More than
35,000 farms are located along Thailand's long coastline and produce
cultivated shrimp including Vannamei White, Black Tiger, Freshwater
and Seawater.
Although
frozen shrimp remains a major export, value added shrimp products are
increasingly popular including Breaded (butterfly, torpedo, popcorn)
; Battered (shrimp rolls, balls etc) ; Dim Sum ; Marinated (lemon
garlic, spicy Cajun) ; Shrimp Rings with cocktail sauce.
