CARREFOUR to source shrimp directly from Thailand

Planet Retail 7 Oct 2008

Carrefour plans to buy shrimp directly from farmers to supply the chain's outlets in Thailand and abroad. The French company will send a team to inspect and verify shrimp products and farming practices at Kaset Somboon Farm Co to ensure the shrimp meet its standards and are free from chemical residue. Carrefour is likely to purchase as many as 10,000 tonnes a year from the farm for local outlets and some outlets overseas if the inspections, to be conducted sometime in January, show satisfactory results.
