Prawn farm seeks to benefit from Aramco experience
AL-LAITH: Senior executives of the National Prawn Company ( NPC ) and Saudi Aramco met in Al-Laith recently and reviewed possible areas of cooperation in environmental management.The discussions resulted in an agreement that NPC would work together with Aramco experts and benefit from its experience in knowledge management and environmental care, especially with respect to the marine environment.
The meeting took place as a result of a presentation given to Aramco executives -- led by Ahmed Al-Saadi, vice president of Aramco's Pipeline, Distribution and Terminal Division -- who had gathered at NPC 's site for a mid-year meeting to assess the performance of the division in the Western Province.
NPC is currently engaged on a huge expansion project, which when completed in a few years will cover an area of about five times the size of Bermuda and see the company's output of top quality prawns soar to over 40,000 tons per year.
The NPC is one of the world's largest fully integrated prawn farming operations. It is located on the shore of the Red Sea near Al-Laith, a fishing town south of Jeddah.
NPC sells it prawns domestically and in all major international markets including Japan, Korea, Spain, the UK and the United States.
