Zeal Aqua has signed an agreement with Lenk Frozen Foods to supply seafood to Europe.
Zeal Aqua operates 160 farms spread over 300 hectares in Gujarat, with an annual output of 2,000 metric tons. Zeal Aqua claimed that they do not use antibiotics in their farms.
LENK is looking to strengthen their Asian network by offering importers frozen shrimp products which are coming from producers who are providing a fully integrated supply chain, and includes processing shrimp of their own farmed materials. The main focus will be expanding the markets in Southern Europe, where Black Tiger is still a strong niche market next to Vannamei, which Zeal produces.
While targeting an output of more than 2.000 M/T of Black Tiger shrimp from our own cultivation in 2023, we are planning to sell approximately 50% of the volume in the EU market through the new partnership with LENK this year, Zeal Aqua’s Managing Director Mr. Rohan Navik said.
