Market Growth Factors
The expansion of sustainable farming methods is a primary driver in the Thailand aquaculture market. Integrated mangrove-shrimp aquaculture (IMS) combines shrimp ponds with mangrove plantings to restore ecological balance, improve water quality, and stabilize shrimp production. Optimal mangrove coverage between 30% and 50% supports profitability, highlighting IMS as a resilient, climate-aligned farming system. This approach aligns with global sustainability goals and provides vital economic and environmental benefits to inland and coastal communities.
Technological advancements in precision aquaculture contribute significantly to market growth. The adoption of IoT-enabled systems and sensor networks enables real-time monitoring and automated feeding, which enhances yield efficiency while lowering disease risk and operational costs. These digital tools mark a transition toward data-driven farming methods that improve cost-effectiveness and operational resilience, particularly in shrimp and freshwater fish sectors.
Financial and institutional support is another critical growth factor. A $150 Million blue loan package from the Asian Development Bank and Thai Union, including $50 Million from ADB and $100 Million syndicated from six banks, fosters sustainable shrimp farming. It aids shrimp farmers through training, certification, and R&D initiatives aimed at boosting disease resilience and climate adaptation. Such investments under blue finance frameworks help enhance aquatic ecosystem preservation and seafood supply chain sustainability.
