January 14, 2026 – Trang Corporation & Dary Foods Co. has joined Shrimp Welfare Project’s Humane Slaughter Initiative to advance higher-welfare harvest practices in shrimp farming.
Trang Corporation, a leading Vietnamese food and seafood company, has committed to electrically stun 1,800 metric tonnes of shrimps annually using a shrimp stunner granted by Shrimp Welfare Project.
UK-based seafood supplier Trangs Group has also joined the partnership by agreeing to prioritise the purchase of stunned shrimps from Trang Corporation.
The partnership is part of the Humane Slaughter Initiative:
Shrimp Welfare Project supports the shrimp industry’s transition to humane slaughter by providing free-of-charge equipment, training, and technical support.
By collaborating with shrimp producers and buyers, Shrimp Welfare Project aims to enhance animal welfare standards and sustainable practices.
This memorandum of understanding (MoU) is the programme’s 25th corporate partnership, and the ninth in Vietnam.
Momentum for shrimp welfare is growing: as of January 2026, 11 major retailers across the UK and Europe have published policies to implement humane slaughter and eliminate eyestalk ablation in their supply chains, reflecting changes in consumer trends.
“As more retailers commit to higher welfare standards, we are seeing a real shift in how shrimps are farmed and harvested,” said Krzysztof Wojtas, Shrimp Welfare Project’s Chief Programmes Officer. “With partners like Trang Corporation and Trangs Group embracing humane slaughter, Shrimp Welfare Project is proud to help the industry transition to more responsible aquaculture practices.”
“At Trangs Group, we believe that responsible sourcing starts with animal welfare,” said David Ho, Trangs Group’s Global Sales Director. “By joining this initiative, we ensure the prawns we supply meet the highest ethical standards, reflecting our commitment to sustainability and animal wellbeing.”
