Vertical Integration and a focus on
Sustainable
toxin free production
We are an integrated aquatic product producer and processor in
the
PRC of toxin free tilapia, other aquatic products and marine bio and
healthcare products. We use state-of-the-art and environment-friendly
technologies in our production and processing operations. Our
facilities
are certified according to the HACCP standards, have been assigned an
EU
code required for exporting aquatic products to the EU, and are in the
process of being certified in accordance with the ACC standards. Our
products are sold principally to customers in North America, Europe and
Asia.
Established in 1999, our aquatic farming and processing
operations
are in Hainan Province, an island in the South China Sea which is
situated
within the most desirable latitude for raising tilapia. Hainan
Province in
southern China is designated by the Chinese government as a green
province,
where environmentally friendly agri-food related industry is
encouraged.
We purchase and process farm-bred and ocean caught aquatic products
through
cooperative supply arrangements with local fishermen and cooperatives.
Our
supply cooperatives, under our guidance, use feed formulated to
optimize
natural toxin-free growth, thus raising toxin free tilapia. Our
tilapia
products have achieved such a high level of purity that we have
successfully begun marketing these products as toxin free and natural.
In August 2004, the company acquired Hainan Jiahua Marine
BioProducts Co. Ltd. which develops, produces and sells marine bio and
healthcare products in China. The principal products of Jiahua Marine
are
shark cartilage capsules and shark liver oil products which are
distributed
exclusively in China. The products undergo substantial independent
laboratory testing in China administered by the Ministry of Health in
China
and have resulted in a PRC National Certification for these products.
These products have various medicinal and health benefits. The plant
also
manufactures feed additives for aquaculture operations.
We have commenced branding and marketing of our high quality,
differentiated tilapia products under the name TILOVEYAT from our new
United States headquarters based in Seattle, Washington.
Our subsidiary, Jiahua Marine, has been designated by both the
Wenchang Municipality and the Hainan Province as a "Dragonhead
Enterprise"
in our field of production of aquaculture tilapia, shrimp and our fish
processing methods. Such awards are typically given to the leading
enterprises in each field and each locality based on an comprehensive
evaluation of their strength, potential and contribution to the local
economies according to an evaluation system used by all levels of
government. This distinction signifies that the government awarding the
designation is interested in its recipient's involvement in the
development
of the aquaculture industry in the PRC.
