Seafood Processing and Distribution / Food & Beverage
Strategic Profile
The company provides fish fillets, crabs, and peeled shrimps as core seafood products.

The company benefits from stable dividend yields and maintains a diversified portfolio that includes software development and insurance agency businesses.
