Billion Dollar Prawns?

Billion Dollar Prawns?

Malaysian giant freshwater Prawns are known worldwide for their size and taste, and are revered at chef’s tables. Despite this, much of the freshwater prawns consumed here in Malaysia are imported, rather than bred here. The industry here in Malaysia was almost lost - and Giva Kuppusamy and his company are hoping to revive it. We talk to Giva about the tech that's at the heart of this industry, and despite international recognition, why the industry is not growing as fast as it could be.
