Groupe Grimaud is a story of breeders, a family business that has gradually developed, internationalized, and constantly innovated while sharing its corporate values at the service of humans.

He joined the family adventure and set out to expand the Group’s operations into Asia at the start of the 90s.

Groupe Grimaud diversified into Aquaculture through the creation of the Blue Genetics brand in 2013, considerably strengthened in 2022 by the merger with Sea Products Development based in Texas.

Mr. Grimaud will speak about sustainability in the industry: how do we match the short and long-term challenges of our industry?

The drive from wild catch to domestication to meet global demand. The environmental and health challenges we meet.

Compare hyper intensive vs. extensive systems.

The art of feeding: a unique balance between feed and microorganisms. Followed by an overview of the genetics options and solutions for the shrimp industry.

Finally, he will speak about the impact of climate change, biodiversity and traceability and safety for the consumers to end with the future perspectives and the conclusions for our industry.
