Ambassador Tanee lauded CP’s business operations in the U.S. which range from frozen and ready-to-eat food production to swine farming and processing. This has made CP one of the largest and fastest-growing frozen food manufacturers in North America.

Ambassador Tanee commended the achievement of the Homegrown Shrimp USA project which reflects CP’s commitment to advancing the way shrimps are cultivated with zero waste discharged to the environment, compatible with the Bio-Circular-Green Economy Model (BCG) of Thailand.

Homegrown Shrimp USA is developed by CP with the aim to raise the standard of shrimp production in the U.S. with the least impact on the environment. This prototype farm model can be replicated to other parts of the country.
