Game-Changing Food Preservation Products for the Fishing Industry
Without the existence of food preservation technology, the fishing industry would simply be a fraction of what it is today. The global community as a whole would also face a much larger food crisis: currently, it is estimated that as much as 40% of all living people worldwide depend on seafood, whether wild-caught or farmed, as their primary source of protein. That’s roughly a whopping 40% of the world population.
It is thus safe to say that the development of safe and effective food preservation solutions specifically related to fishing is a very important and essential task. The ability to safely store and distribute seafood does not only enable people everywhere to enjoy the delicacies the ocean has to offer safely, but it literally helps keep the food on the table for a significant portion of the people alive today.
For almost four decades, Tequisa has taken this task to heart. Established in Spain in 1983, Tequisa has been at the forefront of developing, manufacturing, and supplying innovative food preservation products to the fishing industry. In doing so, we’ve had a huge impact on the rise and sustainability of a number of companies, large and small.
In 1995, Tequisa established itself in South Africa. This country, with its extensive coastline and access to ocean waters rich with sea life, has a booming fishing industry. The availability of food preservation technology has not only enabled local companies to provide fresh seafood to the interior of the country but has also supported a thriving export market. This allows local companies to earn more money and supports the economy by bringing in foreign exchange.
In its support of the local economy and commercial fishing industry, Tequisa manufactures food additives and continues to raise the benchmark in seafood preservation technology. We have developed over 100 products that cover the demands of the food industry. To ensure top quality and safety, as well as the ability for local fisheries to export to other territories, all processing aids developed by us strictly adheres to the quality control procedures as stipulated by the EU, FDA-USA, FAO and WHO regulations.
