Plenary Opening and Inspiration
Scope /
Besides some formalities, this year's Global Shrimp Forum aims to inspire you about how the shrimp industry can continue to grow while providing a healthy and sustainable protein for the growing world population.
We are very proud to have Carlos Díaz, the CEO of BioMar, present his views on how shrimp fits into the Blue Foods agenda and inspire us with his insights about what shrimp can learn from salmon to become one of the sustainable proteins of the future. Carlos Díaz will be joined by Mr. My Thanh, the Chairman of Rynan Aquaculture, an innovative shrimp farming company from Vietnam, to discuss the future of shrimp in more detail.
We will then turn to the Global Shrimp Council (GSC) co-chairs. In early 2024, the Global Shrimp Council elected its first 15-person board, which includes, besides the two founders, representatives from eleven of the world's largest shrimp producers and two importers from the US and Europe. The co-chairs will provide a quick update on the latest developments within the Global Shrimp Council and what to expect in the coming months.
To finish the session and leave you inspired, we have invited Jitske Kramer, one of the most well-known speakers in the Netherlands. Jitske will show us how vital proper decision-making processes are when establishing an organisation and dealing with many different cultures and perspectives within the global shrimp industry. She will speak about the concepts of deep democracy and liminality and inspire us on how to work together for a better future for the shrimp industry.
