The Japanese investment giant has acquired stake in Minh Phu Seafood after first investing in an affiliated company in 2013.

SCRIPT has been enhanced to enable South East Asian banks better manage the negative environmental and social impacts of beef, soy, palm oil and seafood production.

The seafood company was launched three years ago, with US buyout firm Bregal Partners acting as sponsor.

The joint investment by the EU and Irish governments will help companies invest in cold storage to comply with the EU's fish discards ban as well as boost production of farmed seafood.

Aqua-Spark, an investment fund focused exclusively on sustainable aquaculture, led the previously announced funding round with a $2.5m investment.
