Vietnamese shrimp and fish farmers gain access to the patent-protected intelligent sonic feeding technology trusted by producers across Latin America
GUAYAQUIL - ECUADOR, LAS VEGAS - NEVADA - USA, — June 11, 2026 — Jetfeeder, an Ecuador-based aquaculture feeding technology company specializing in shrimp, announced today that the Intellectual Property Office of Vietnam (IP Vietnam) has granted patent protection for its acoustic feeding system, which uses a hydrophone and water-quality sensors to detect shrimp feeding activity in real time. The patent protects Jetfeeder's technology in one of the world's most competitive shrimp-producing countries and marks a significant step in the company's expansion into Asia.
The milestone carries added weight given Vietnam’s standing as a global aquaculture powerhouse. The country’s shrimp exports reached a record US$4.6 billion in 2025, up 19 percent year-on-year — the highest level ever recorded.
“Recognition from IP Vietnam is more than just a legal milestone: it confirms that our acoustic feeding technology, which uses a hydrophone to adjust feeding based on the shrimp’s actual activity, is an original and protected innovation in one of the world’s largest shrimp-producing countries,” said Gary Schaffer, CEO of Aquaculture Feeding Systems, Inc., Jetfeeder’s majority shareholder. “Jetfeeder was built on a commitment to genuine innovation, and this patent confirms that what we have created is truly distinctive. Vietnamese shrimp and fish producers deserve access to the best, and now they have it.”
“Vietnam marks a pivotal step in Jetfeeder’s expansion beyond our established roots in South and Central America,” added Luke Landers, Founder and Chairman of the Board. “As we move into Asia and new markets, we are bringing our technology to shrimp and fish farmers around the world.”
“Every farmer who trusted us started by taking one step,” said Fernando Amador, Managing Director of Jetfeeder Ecuador. “We know what it takes to earn that trust, and we know how to keep it. Vietnamese customers will have a dedicated team behind them from day one — not just a product, but a long-term partner.”
Jetfeeder’s automatic feeding system is recognized for substantially improving production and feed optimization, with a user-friendly design that eliminates unnecessary complexity and circuitry With 24/7 support through offices in Ecuador, Mexico, Honduras, India, and the Philippines, the company ensures that expert assistance is always within reach. As Jetfeeder’s patent-protected footprint grows, so does its commitment to raising the standard of aquaculture feeding technology across every market it serves.
