Kenya

East African Sea Food Ltd processes, distributes and exports fresh water and seafood products in Kenya, the region and around the world.

The company's main pursuits are:

Processing and Export of Nile Perch
East African Sea Foods' started processing and exporting Nile Perch with their plant in Nairobi, Kenya but was subsequently moved to Kisumu, Kenya where a state-of-the-art processor was installed with an improved capacity to handle 3,500 metric tonnes per annum.

Kenya was initially chosen because of her relatively well-developed infrastructure but her share of Lake Victoria is only 6%. The demand for fresh water products necessitated further development into Uganda and Tanzania that have a bigger share of Africa's biggest fresh water lake.

East African Seafood Products range is:-

Fresh Chilled Nile Perch Fillets
Frozen Nile Perch Fillets
Frozen Nile Perch H&G
Frozen Fish Maws

Trawling, Freezing on-board and export of Prawns
