ประมงแม่โจ้จับมือภาคอุตสาหกรรมกุ้ง พัฒนางานวิจัย-ฝึกงาน เสริมศักยภาพกำลังคน|Maejo Fisheries Faculty Strengthens Industry Collaboration to Advance Shrimp Research and Workforce Development

Key areas of cooperation include the development of research and innovation in shrimp aquaculture, expanding internship opportunities for students, promoting knowledge exchange between academics and industry professionals, and enhancing students’ skills and competencies to better prepare them for careers in the aquatic animal production industry.

The discussion also provided an opportunity to exchange perspectives on the current situation and future direction of Thailand’s shrimp industry, covering production technologies, farm management practices, challenges faced by farmers, and industry-driven research priorities. These efforts aim to foster practical solutions and improve the efficiency and competitiveness of the shrimp sector.

In the afternoon, the faculty organized a special seminar entitled “The New Era of Thai Shrimp: From Classroom Learning to Professional Farming and Sustainable Business.” The event featured distinguished speakers from the shrimp industry, including Mr. Yutthana Rattano, who shared insights on the future of Thai shrimp farming and sustainable business development; Ms. Paradee Heetpheng, who presented on business operations and management in the shrimp industry; and Mr. Jessada Pongpanich, who discussed shrimp farming practices in neighboring countries. The seminar provided students and faculty members with valuable industry perspectives, practical experience, and career inspiration.

This collaboration represents another important step for Maejo University in connecting education and research with industry needs, while strengthening partnerships among the university, entrepreneurs, and shrimp farmers to support the sustainable growth of Thailand’s shrimp industry.
