Mitsubishi Corporation's Strategic Expansion

Mitsubishi significantly increased its stake in Thai Union Group, a leading canned tuna producer, rising from 6.19% to 20%-a transaction valued at approximately $205 million. This move emphasizes Mitsubishi's intent to build a stronger foothold in global protein and food sectors.

Scaling Aquaculture via Grieg Seafood Acquisition

Through its subsidiary Cermaq, Mitsubishi also acquired salmon farms from Norway's Grieg Seafood for about $1 billion. The expansion positions Cermaq to become the world's second-largest salmon farming group, targeting an annual production of 280,000 tonnes by 2027.
