The Seafood Task Force (STF), a leading trade association that represents members of global tuna and shrimp supply chains, has further expanded its activities across Vietnam with the addition of Khang An Foods Joint-stock Company, a specialist in sustainable shrimp and vegetable processing.
Khang An Foods, which officially joined the STF on September 2nd operates three processing facilities and owns shrimp farms, employing approximately 1,500 people. The company has built sustainability into its core mission from the day of establishment, specializing in value-added shrimp and vegetable products with three distinct operations: one factory dedicated to value-added vegetables, another specializing in raw and cooked shrimp products, and a third focusing on mixed shrimp and vegetable processing.
The company's commitment to sustainability extends beyond operations to community impact, serving as a pioneer enterprise in Vietnam contributing to gender equality development within Oxfam UK projects. Khang An Foods maintains comprehensive international certifications including BRC Grade A and ASC standards and follows SEDEX's SMETA program for enhanced security and sustainable production. The company has implemented scope one and scope two emissions monitoring and is progressing toward scope three tracking, with plans to release its own sustainability report in the coming year.
