RMITRCHAI Farm

Science-backed Shrimp Farming
Thoughtful farming. A healthier tomorrow.

Healthy Shrimp · Healthy People · A Thriving Tomorrow

From hands-on shrimp farming to learning through science, our story brings together life in the ponds, the people who care for it and possibilities beyond the farm.

Experience & Discovery
A story that grows with every chapter

R. Mitrchai Farm's story began around 13 years ago with shrimp farming. Today, that journey connects with science, technology and new products, with the farm at the heart of the learning.

01Our beginnings

Around 13 years on the farm

According to the farm's account in 2026, its farming journey began around 13 years earlier. This describes farming experience, not the company's registration date.

02Beyond the pond

HEY SHRIMP

HEY SHRIMP shrimp extract soup is one of the products developed from the farm's journey, extending its story into food. Contact the team for product details.

03New questions from the pond

Learning through science

Experience helps us understand the farm; science helps us ask deeper questions. We are interested in connecting observations at the pond with experiments, laboratory work and conversations with specialists.

About the farm

About the Farm
Our land, our water, our people.

R. Mitrchai Farm's story began around 13 years ago in Ban Laem, Phetchaburi. From raising shrimp, our journey has grown to connect with science and product development, while people and life in the ponds remain at its heart.

01Listen to natureUnderstand water conditions, seasons and local constraints before making decisions.
02Work with disciplineKeep records so that practical lessons remain available to the next team.
03Create shared valueConsider our team, community, partners and ecosystem as the farm develops.

People behind the purpose

Our People & Identity
Different roles. One shared identity.

From pond care to partnership coordination, we value people, responsibility and shared learning.

Field Team

Close to the water. Attentive to every detail.

Working Together

Connecting information, people and partnerships.

Science as a daily practice

Science
Healthy shrimp begins with understanding.

Science helps us explore questions that experience alone may not answer, from changes in the water to shrimp health. We value connecting questions from the ponds with trials, laboratory work and specialist knowledge.

Water

Water intelligence

Interpret water-quality trends in context, not isolated readings detached from real conditions.

Shrimp

Health observation

Connect observations, behaviour and test results to identify risks earlier.

Learning

Continuous research

Start with small trials, define stop-or-proceed criteria and record every lesson.

Sustainability in practice

Sustainability
Responsible today. Resilient tomorrow.

We consider the whole cycle: resources, water, residual materials and the well-being of people and communities.

Water stewardship

Use evidence to care for water and reduce waste, without claiming outcomes that have not been measured.

N

Nature in balance

Include biodiversity and the surrounding landscape in farm planning.

P

People & community

Support safer work, share knowledge and include local people in progress.

Better tools. More informed decisions.

Choose tools that reveal change earlier, reduce repetitive work and make the reasoning behind decisions traceable.

01 · Our Purpose — Beyond shrimp farming

Connecting people, nature and science for responsible shrimp farming

For us, the farm is where the experience of shrimp farmers meets new knowledge. We want that learning to support the farm and open up more possibilities, from farming practice to food products.

02 · Farm Story — Farm history

From the first days by the ponds to a new chapter

Around 13 years of farming form the beginning of the story we want to share: from the shrimp ponds of Ban Laem, Phetchaburi, to an interest in science, tools and working with specialists.

The journey goes beyond the harvest. HEY SHRIMP shrimp extract soup is another chapter connecting the farm's experience with product development.

The farming timeline is based on the farm's account in 2026, not the legal entity's registration date.

03 · HEY SHRIMP — From farm to product

The shrimp story continues beyond the pond

HEY SHRIMP shrimp extract soup is one of the products developed from the farm's journey. It connects aquaculture with food and opens a conversation about finding new possibilities in something we know well.

For current product details, ingredients or purchase enquiries, please speak directly with our team.

04 · Care & Standards — Caring for aquatic life

Caring about more than the harvest

Caring for shrimp means looking beyond growth to their environment and welfare. FAI lists R.MITRCHAI FARM PETCHBURI with its Trained Badge marked In Progress.

Checked on 20 September 2026: In Progress does not mean a badge has been awarded. For commercial documentation, ask our team about the latest scope and status.

05 · Working Together — Collaboration & trials

Knowledge grows when different experiences meet

Farmers know the details of daily life at the pond. Researchers and specialists bring another set of questions, approaches and tools. Collaboration becomes meaningful when these perspectives help us understand shrimp farming more clearly.

The farm identifies a network including KMUTT Bang Khun Thian, TISTR, NSTDA, DIPROM, KYTOS, TUF, GROBEST, the Department of Fisheries and research centres. Each collaboration has its own context; individual project stories should be read alongside the roles and dates involved.

Names are supplied by the farm. This does not mean that every organisation joins the same project, provides funding or endorses products.

06 · From Pond to Lab — A scientific perspective

A laboratory story begins with a question

When something changes in a pond, the question is not only what happened, but how we can investigate what we see. Field observations and analysis offer complementary views of the same picture.

We believe a useful science story should follow the question, sampling and analysis through to the meaning and limitations of the findings, rather than stopping at a photograph of equipment or a single number.

If you are interested in laboratory work, equipment or a study visit, contact the team to discuss the topic and what can be made available before arranging a visit.

07 · Farm Journal — Stories from our page

Another window into farm life

Alongside this website, the R.Mitrchai Farm page shares updates, photographs and posts at their original source, with the date and context of each story.
