ASC Seafood and Aquaculture has established one of Turkey's first pilot production facilities for jumbo shrimp in Muğla Milas, receiving GLOBAL GAP certification. The company aims to export to the USA and reduce the country's reliance on imports, currently around $7 million annually. The facility, spread over 24 decares and with an annual capacity of 29 tons, uses a closed circuit system for production. The first batch of shrimp was harvested in November, and the company plans to expand with an incubator project, expected to be operational by the end of 2021.
