export market criteria. Our chemical free seawater farming utilizes the latest technology with facilities
that enable full traceability and maintains harvest freshness.
Our iKERPAN facility has received the Best Aquaculture Practices and Global Trust certifications
from Global Aquaculture Alliance. These certifications are recognitions of our efforts in producing
shrimps that are safe, high quality and sustainable. In addition, iKERPAN also has been accorded

production to meet global standards for food safety and traceability.
Our ultimate aim is to develop a Malaysian brand that is synonymous with wholesomness, integrity
and quality.

Our
Winning Edge
Our secret for high global standard shrimps
with excellent taste and texture is our on-site
advanced processing plant that maintains
harvest freshness. Farmed through sustainable
means, it offers premium taste and freshness,
with consistent colour and yield. In short, from
harvest to home, pond to plate, our produce is
fully traceable and environmentally friendly.
Product Traceability
From hatchery to processing, stringent biosecurity standards are adopted to maintain
peak quality and ensure excellent traceability.
Quick Transfer from Farm to Processing Plant
Within an hour, harvested shrimps are transported from our farm to the processing plant
and frozen to -20°C. This ensures minimal environmental exposure to the shrimp, hence
retaining the highest product freshness possible, even after it is frozen.
Full Strength Seawater Culture for Tastier Shrimp
Full strength Seawater Culture for tastier shrimps. The water is channeled into the farm
by a 2.8km seawater system and discharged to the river after a series of retention and
treatment ponds ensuring the local environment remains unaffected.
All Natural, without Antibiotics and Hormones
Our shrimps are chemical free with no antibiotics or hormones. Not only are they safe for
consumption, our high quality water also enhances their taste and our farming techniques
preserve their natural texture.
Fully Lined Ponds and Ideal Weather for Consistent Supply and Quality
Malaysia’s tropical climate allows for continuous shrimp farming. This is an advantage as
we can practice staggered stocking and carry out harvesting plans for our live shrimps.
These factors are vital in delivering consistent yield, size and quality in produce, while
allowing for more production cycles per pond. It also ensures that the shrimp colour is
dark and consistent all year round.

Enhancing Our
Core Competencies
Our philosophy is that the man closest to the shrimp must be the most
knowledgeable. Which is precisely why Blue Archipelago has implemented
a training program to arm workers with vital skills and knowledge in shrimp
aquaculture that meets world standards. Upon completion, successful participants
of the program will receive a Certificate in Shrimp Aquaculture (CISA).
The four-level CISA which is equivalent to a diploma is a carefully designed
program in collaboration with Universiti Putra Malaysia. Supported by Malaysian
government bodies such as the Northern Corridor Implementation Authority and
the Department of Fisheries, it has been recognized by the Malaysian Ministry of
Human Resources.
In recognition of our efforts to develop our human capital, Blue Archipelago
was awarded the “MSC Malaysia HR Achievement Bronze Award 2010”, by the
Malaysian Institute of Human Resource Management.
