Processing Facilities

 

At present, we have 2 (two) strategically-located processing facilities in the coastal belt of the state of Andhra Pradesh, which is a major hub for shrimp farming in India. We believe that the proximity of our processing facilities to aqua-farms provides us with a significant locational advantage, and enables us to obtain a regular supply of quality raw material.
