AI · written from filings

Processes and exports frozen shrimp — primarily Vannamei and Black Tiger varieties — to international seafood buyers, with the US and Europe as the main markets. Non-US geographies rose to about 51% of revenue in 9M FY26 from 37% in 9M FY24, as EU sales grew 22% year-on-year in Q3 FY26 while US sales declined 12% on tariff headwinds. Volumes sold were 2,754 MT in Q3 FY26 and 8,373 MT in 9M FY26, with capacity utilisation running at 32–35% and management targeting roughly 50% by FY27. Beyond bulk frozen shrimp, ready-to-eat products are being positioned as a margin lever, especially for the European market where an India-EU FTA is flagged as structurally positive. Raw shrimp, bought at farmgate prices, is the dominant cost at about 60.9% of FY26 revenue; raw material cost fell to INR 327/kg in Q3 FY26 from INR 374/kg a year earlier. The company is export-focused and operates a single processing base in Kakinada, with short-term borrowings cut sharply during FY26.
