We are honored to welcome YBhg. Datuk Seri Isham bin Ishak, Secretary General of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security, who officiated the launch of YHL-Phi Tik Shrimp Farming and the opening of the YHL Nucleus Center. During his visit, he also toured our YHL Aquatic Desaru Farm.
YHL Aquatic Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of YHL Foods, has been cultivating white shrimp and operating an IMTA treatment pond across 216.5 acres at BioDesaru since 2020. Our operations continue to expand in phases, with plans to develop an additional 150 acres for ecotourism and a frozen processing plant. In 2024, YHL Aquatic Desaru Farm produced 2,309 metric tons of shrimp for both domestic and international markets.
Furthermore, the YHL Nucleus Center in Mersing, operational since October 2023, supplies high-quality post larvae with exceptional disease resistance. Both our Desaru and Mersing facilities are proudly certified with myGAP and FQC, reflecting our commitment to industry excellence.
We extend our gratitude to YBhg. Dato’ Haji Adnan bin Hussain, Director General of Department of Fisheries Malaysia, YBrs. Encik Hamdan bin Mamat, Director General of LKIM, as well as officials from the Department of Fisheries Malaysia, relevant government agencies, and other esteemed departments for gracing the occasion and supporting our journey toward sustainable aquaculture.
