Tuna from Maldives

Our Story

We are a bunch of life-long profesionals in the area of food products, retail and international trade. What we share is the passion for top quality authentic products and generally yummy food. Through our carriers we have seen many examples of excellence in food production, but we have seen much more of processes we don't like. We have decided to search for those products around the world that meet our expectations and are unique in many ways.

Our philosophy is based on close cooperation with local communities, fair conditions, sustainable production and of course only top quality.

Friends of
Friendly Maldives

Even though we deliver global products, we always act locally. In the case of the Maldives, we closely cooperate with the community of fishermen in Gemanafushi atoll, where we support not only the fishermen, but we have established a long-term partnership with the whole community.

We are deeply committed to our promise, that everyone in the chain will benefit from our activities.
