One partner · Multiple origins · One container
We source across five Chilean salmon farms and three processing plants, and load up to ten products in a single container. One commercial partner, one shipment, a portfolio built for your customers instead of your supplier's constraints.
The SalmonExport promise
No single salmon producer will load this many products in one shipment. Because we work across farms and plants, we build a mixed-product 40' reefer around what your customers actually buy, so your capital rotates instead of sitting in a cold store.
Tap a product to take it out or put it back. Your selection travels with you to the quote form.
Quote this containerA 40' reefer holds roughly 20 metric tons. How that volume is split decides how long your money stays frozen.
You buy what the plant runs that week. Ten to twenty tons of one product wait in your cold store while the rest of your catalogue is short.
Each product ships in the volume your market sells in a cycle. Less capital tied up, fewer stock-outs, and one document set for the whole container.
Five farms and three plants mean the right species, size and quality grade are almost always available, in the volume you need.
Sourcing, specifications, processing, certificates, documentation and shipment coordinated by one commercial team.
Weight range, trim level, packaging, private label and certification are set by your market, not by a production line.

Insights
Market intelligence
Buyers don't need another container. They need a supplier who understands where their market is going.
Seafood expertise
Certification is not a logo on a box. It is the set of decisions that keeps a specification stable from harvest to plate.
Supply chain
A single plant sells what it runs this week. A network sells what your market needs this quarter.
