- Sao Ta Foods Joint Stock Company (Fimex VN) is a Vietnam-based agribusiness and seafood enterprise primarily engaged in the aquaculture, processing, and export of frozen shrimp and value-added agricultural products. The company operates through two principal business segments: Seafood Processing and Agricultural Products. Its seafood portfolio comprises raw frozen shrimp, including head-on shell-on (HOSO), headless shell-on (HLSO), peeled tail-on (PTO), and peeled deveined (PND) black tiger and whiteleg shrimp; value-added and ready-to-cook shrimp products, including Nobashi stretched shrimp, sushi ebi, breaded shrimp, tempura shrimp, marinated shrimp skewers, and pre-cooked cocktail shrimp; and custom-packed IQF and block-frozen seafood assortments. Its agricultural line consists of processed and frozen vegetables, including vegetable tempura mixes (kakiage), sweet potatoes, okra, eggplant, edamame, and assorted seasoned vegetable preparations. Sao Ta Foods serves commercial food wholesalers, retail supermarket chains, and food service operators across key export markets, including Japan, the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, South Korea, Canada, and Australia. Founded in 1995, commenced operations in 1996, and headquartered in Soc Trang Province, Vietnam, the company operates as a key consolidated subsidiary of The PAN Group and maintains a strategic equity partnership with C.P. Vietnam Corporation. The company conducts its manufacturing and farming operations through multiple specialized units and subsidiaries, including the Sao Ta Seafood Enterprise, Tin An Seafood Factory, Nam An Seafood Factory, An San Foods Factory, and Khang An Food Joint Stock Company. In recent developments, Sao Ta Foods expanded its upstream aquaculture operations by bringing the 203-hectare Vinfarm farming project into full production, increasing its aggregate farming footprint to over 530 hectares and achieving approximately 30 percent self-sufficiency in raw shrimp supply. The company has implemented multi-stage, biosecure farming models and off-season stocking programs to mitigate weather-related yield fluctuations, while advancing ASC and BAP sustainability certifications across its farming zones. Additionally, Sao Ta Foods has intensified its strategic focus on high-margin, deeply processed convenience foods, expanded specialized processing line capacities across its facilities, and deepened operational synergies with C.P. Vietnam to optimize post-larvae seed stock selection, feed quality, and overall supply chain traceability.
