MOL PLUS today announced investment in Regional Fish Institute, Ltd. , which develops next generation aquaculture model by combining high-speed breeding and smart aquaculture.

Expecting Regional Fish will make a significant contribution to solving ESG issues: namely, addressing global food problems and reducing the environmental impact, MOL PLUS has decided to invest in the company.
