Seafood Task Force

The Seafood Task Force (formerly the Shrimp Sustainable Supply Chain Task Force) is a pre-competitive, industry-led group, formed to tackle human rights and environmental issues in Thailand’s seafood supply chains. The group consists of retailers, suppliers, NGOs, and major Thai processors and feed companies. Its work to date includes supply chain analysis, identifying the vessels harvesting the inputs for fish feed, the development of audit protocols, and support of the Thai government’s development of port control measures and documents. One of its main objectives is to implement traceability systems with international verification from vessel to feed mill in Thai shrimp supply chains, and have this system become an independent, internationally recognized benchmark supply chain model within the industry.
