Summary

Seafarmers is a marketer of quality Australian farmed seafood and has spent the past 12 months researching, developing and test marketing barramundi into the UK and European markets. Seafarmers directors have been working with the Australian Barramundi Farmers Association (ABFA) and government agencies in a concerted plan to develop the industry and plan for expansion.

In an effort to ensure production of consistent high quality product suitable for the export market, Seafarmers have stipulated specific pre- and post-harvest protocols that growers/suppliers must use within their operation. A complete HACCP/QA Approved Supplier Program, certified by SGS to international standards, has been implemented through all suppliers as this is a prerequisite for export to the EU.
