PENANG-BASED Texchem Resources Bhd is looking to add another venture to its portfolio. The company is in a race to develop the world’s first commercial crab hatchery. The hatchery, already beyond the experimental stage, is being developed in collaboration with Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM).
Texchem chairman Tan Sri Fumihiko Konishi is confident that the project will position the group ahead in the race as most of the crab hatcheries in Asia are still in the experimental phases.
