| 07:30 – 08:30 | Registration |
| 08:30 – 08:40 | Opening Address Dr Thitiporn Laoprasert, Deputy Director-General of the Department of Fisheries, Thailand |
| 08:40 – 10:00 | State of the Global Shrimp Supply and Demand The critical challenge in shrimp aquaculture is oversupply leading to low prices, intense regional competition, and fragmented supply chain cooperation. A deep dive into global supply dynamics can help uncover solutions. The focus is on key players in global shrimp supply and demand; disruptions and challenges in Asia, the leading supplier; the situation in China, a major producer and consumer of shrimp and demand in the US and the EU. |
| 10:00 – 10:30 | Panel Discussion with Industry Players and Speakers |
| 10:30 – 11:00 | Tea Break |
| 11:00 – 12:00 | Precision Shrimp Farming & Gap Analyses Weak Links at Hatchery & Nursery Stages Healthy post larvae from suitable genetics is crucial for success in grow-out farming. The rise of TPD and Vibrio outbreaks, due to climate change, necessitates a transformation on pathogen control and management in hatchery and nursery stages. These changes include a new production model for sustainable Asian shrimp production. |

| 12:30 – 14:00 | Lunch |
| 14:00 – 15:20 | Precision Shrimp Farming & Gap Analyses Nutrition and Feeds Management Precision nutrition and feed management are synergistic to optimize shrimp farming efficiency. The goal is to not only reduce feed cost per kg of shrimp but also use enzymes and functional additives to improve feed efficiency, health and increasing survival rates. This approach aligns shrimp farming with modern livestock practices, ensuring sustainability and profitability. By integrating precision livestock farming principles into shrimp aquaculture, farmers can leverage strategies to monitor feeding patterns, adjust formulations, and enhance overall farm productivity. |
| 15:20 – 15:50 | Panel Discussion with Industry Players and Speakers |
| 15:50 – 16:20 | Tea Break |
| 16:20 – 17:20 | Industry Dialogue PONDSIDE CHAT: Outlook and Transformation with Next Gen Farmers The shrimp farming industry is evolving and the next generation’s infusion of business strategy, technological innovation, data-driven decision-making and sustainability-focused thinking is set to redefine its future. While the pioneering farmers have laid a strong foundation with their deep expertise and dedication, the new wave of shrimp entrepreneurs from Thailand, India, Indonesia, Philippines and Vietnam, bring fresh perspectives that prioritize efficiency, profitability, and environmental responsibility. |
| 17:20 – 18:10 | Living with Diseases Prevention, Managing Trigger Points and Integrating Mitigation into Production Models Constant disease outbreaks continue to lower survival rates and productivity, while costs of production are rising. Farms struggle with EHP, WSSV and EMS, among others. How can we integrate preventive and mitigation measures, boost shrimp immunity and proactive biosecurity into our production models? |
