KLC SEAFOOD – AN INTEGRATED SUPPLY CHAIN FOR PREMIUM LIVE SEAFOOD FROM VIETNAM

28/08/2026

KLC Seafood is a member company of KLC Group, specialising in the farming, sourcing, live holding, processing and export of premium seafood.

With an integrated ecosystem spanning farming areas through to export markets, KLC Seafood maintains control over sourcing and quality across the supply chain while meeting the increasingly stringent requirements of international markets.

Ecosystem Scale and Supply Base

KLC Seafood operates through a collaborative ecosystem connecting its businesses, farming areas, cooperatives and local marine farming communities. This model supports reliable sourcing and the effective coordination of supply for export markets.

KLC Seafood serves as the central hub for market development, export operations and supply chain coordination across the ecosystem.

Its operating network comprises:

  • Two member companies: Phat Loi Production, Trading and Services Co., Ltd. and Gia Thinh Phat Seafood Investment Co., Ltd., which are involved in sourcing, live holding, quality control, processing and seafood exports.
  • Two strategic partner cooperatives: the Cam Ranh – Cam Binh Aquaculture Services Cooperative and the KLC Cam Ranh Lobster Farming Cooperative, which connect local marine farming communities, expand raw material areas and strengthen source control.
  • 884 hectares of linked farming areas across Cam Ranh, Van Ninh and Song Cau, three key marine farming locations in Central Vietnam.

This collaborative model enables KLC Seafood to secure raw materials, control input quality, strengthen traceability and allocate supply flexibly according to market demand.

It also provides the foundation required to meet international partners’ expectations for reliable supply, consistent quality, traceability and long-term fulfilment capacity.

Supported by farming areas and sourcing operations in key locations across Central Vietnam, KLC Seafood can coordinate supply by species, specification and delivery schedule to meet the requirements of individual markets.

For live seafood, the company places particular emphasis on freshness, product condition, commercial specifications and the ability to preserve quality throughout live holding, transportation and export.

An Integrated Supply Chain Built for Reliable Fulfilment

  • Recirculating live-holding tanks that monitor water conditions and key technical parameters to preserve product quality before export.
  • The capacity to receive and hold large volumes of live lobster for sourcing, consolidation and order-based export.
  • Quality control procedures spanning farming areas, sourcing, live holding, transportation and delivery, helping maintain freshness, survival rates and consistent quality.
  • Two processing facilities within the KLC Seafood ecosystem, supporting product handling, processing and standardisation.
  • International logistics capabilities for transporting live seafood by air and road through a network of logistics partners.

Export Capabilities Backed by Results

  • KLC Seafood ranked first among seafood exporters in Ho Chi Minh City, recording exports of USD 85.858 million, equivalent to 11.4% of the city’s total seafood export value.
