- I.D.I International Development & Investment Corporation is a Vietnam-based agribusiness and seafood processing enterprise primarily engaged in the aquaculture, processing, export, and value-added utilization of pangasius (basa) fish. Established in 2003 and headquartered in Lap Vo District, Dong Thap Province, Vietnam, the company operates as a core subsidiary of the Sao Mai Group, utilizing a vertically integrated production ecosystem that spans fish breeding, aquafeed manufacturing, aquaculture farming, automated processing, cold storage, byproduct refining, and international distribution. The company operates through several core business segments: Seafood Processing and Export, Aquafeed Manufacturing, Fish Oil and Byproduct Refining, and Industrial Infrastructure. Its product and service portfolio comprises frozen pangasius products; whole round, gutted, and butterflied pangasius; skinless, skin-on, well-trimmed, semi-trimmed, and untrimmed frozen fillets; portion-controlled cuts, steaks, cubes, and skewers; value-added seafood preparations including seasoned fillets, fish rolls, and processed pangasius swimming bladders (maw); commercial aquafeed and aquaculture feed formulations produced under the Sao Mai Super Feed brand; high-protein fish meal and crude fish oil for animal husbandry; edible refined cooking oils enriched with Omega 3, 6, and 9 fatty acids marketed under the Ranee brand; and cold storage warehousing, bonded logistics, and industrial park development services. I.D.I distributes its products across domestic channels and exports to more than 80 countries worldwide, serving major consumer and commercial markets in China, Mexico, the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Japan, South America, and Southeast Asia. In recent strategic developments, the company has undertaken major infrastructure expansions and sustainability initiatives to scale its production capacity and diversify its global footprint. The company initiated construction on a VND 700-billion export-focused seafood processing facility alongside a high-tech pangasius seed-breeding center, representing a combined investment of nearly VND 1 trillion designed to expand processing capabilities and enhance supply chain traceability for the North American and global markets. To fund these sustainable production projects, the company completed a landmark local-currency aquaculture green bond issuance, earning regional recognition across the Asia-Pacific corporate bond market. Concurrently, the company has executed an export diversification strategy, scaling shipments to the Americas, establishing Mexico as a key revenue contributor, and expanding trade presence across the United States under favorable tariff conditions.
