MANAGING DIRECTOR, THAI STURGEON FARM CO., LTD

Industry : Food

Alexey Tyutin is the Russian-born entrepreneur behind Thailand’s first and only sturgeon farm. With Thai Sturgeon Farm, he has taken a delicacy long associated with European royalty and redefined its place within the Thai culinary landscape. Sturgeon has been prized for both its tender meat and luxurious roe, better known as caviar. But until recently, producing high-quality caviar in Thailand seemed almost impossible.

Driven by vision and patience, Alexey co-founded Thai Sturgeon Farm in Hua Hin, importing fingerlings from abroad and raising them in temperature-controlled ponds that mimic their natural habitat. It takes at least seven years before a sturgeon produces its first roe, and building the farm to international standards required both scientific expertise and personal resilience. What he's most proud of is proving that Thailand can produce top-quality caviar—sustainably, without preservatives, and certified with 100% Eco quality standards. While Caviar House, the sales company, continues to import select products from partner farms, the focus remains on developing and promoting local caviar that’s fresh, safe, and naturally flavourful. Alexey, who has called Thailand home for over two decades, combines deep local insight with global sophistication. Through his efforts, caviar has become more accessible and has evolved into a distinctly Thai luxury product. His caviar now symbolises celebration, bridging cultures and enhancing Thai cuisine in unexpected ways.
