EXPERTISE

An expanding sector

The freezing of fishery products holds a significant position among the preservation and processing activities in our industry. Most freezing units are concentrated in the southern part of the country due to the development of cephalopod fishing and pelagic fishing. The products are processed in strict adherence to national and international sanitation standards. Quality assurance and traceability programs have been established from capture to the shipment of the finished products.

Freezing of Small Pelagic Fish 60%
Freezing of Cephalopods 25%
