Seafood Quality & Export Readiness

Cold chain, documentation, grading and hygiene practices for selling better quality seafood.

Quality begins at harvest. Fast chilling, clean containers and careful handling help preserve texture, colour and freshness.

Maintain traceability from pond to buyer with harvest date, batch details, feed records and treatment records.

Separate grading improves buyer confidence and helps negotiate better pricing for uniform lots.

Export readiness requires documentation discipline and compliance with buyer specifications, residue limits and hygiene expectations.
