進口代理─阿根廷─「PESQUERA VERAZ S.A.」蝦/鱈魚

The company is part of an integrated group in the fishing and naval industries value chain that specializes in the extraction, production, and commercialization of products from the Argentine Sea, mainly shrimp and hake. It has been carrying out this activity for more than 30 years and it harvests and processes the fish in its own vessels, thus ensuring a final product for commercialization and export. Pesquera Veraz has 4 production facilities, which include cold storage, processing, and canning plants. It operates mainly from Puerto Deseado (province of Santa Cruz), the port of Mar del Plata (province of Buenos Aires), and Puerto Rawson (province of Chubut). 

Its vessels carry out the extraction activity through selective fishing gears, a method that is used to avoid catching juveniles and contributes to the sustainability of this resource. 

The varieties extracted are hake (Merluccius hubbsi), anchovy (Engraulis anchoita), chub mackerel (Scomber japonicus), and shrimp (Pleoticus muelleri). The brand's specialty is shrimps of assured quality, both frozen on board and processed on land. It should be noted that the wild Argentine shrimp has a very delicate and tasty meat that distinguishes it from other species, especially from farmed shrimps. It is exported in 2 kg packages or in bulk, as well as in 1 kg packages for supermarkets. 

Hake is a lean species; its meat is white, with a delicate texture and slightly sweet flavor. This product is packaged and marketed under the Centauro S.A. and Pesquera Veraz S.A. brands. 

INTI worked on the construction and start-up of an affluent plant at its Rawson headquarters, which represented a qualitative leap in the production process and helped comply with provincial and environmental standards. The plants are certified under the BRCGS standard for food quality and safety. A total of 50 tons of frozen fish and seafood are processed daily. 

“We are the most important producer of Argentine shrimp for the United States; we also export to Spain, Japan, Italy, China, Korea, Brazil, Portugal, and Russia. At present, we wish to enter the markets of Northern Europe, Norway, Sweden, and Finland, regions where the size and meatiness of our shrimp is significantly different from the local species,” Federico Angeleri, the company’s CEO, comments. 

“Pesquera Veraz S.A. is the only family company in Argentina that is vertically integrated in the fishing value chain. Our parent company is Astillero Naval Federico Contessi y Cia. We have the largest number of fishing vessels in the country. It was the company that started our history, positioning us in a particular place regarding the competition, since we build the vessels, we fish, we have factories where we process and finally we fully commercialize the product, so we control the entire value chain of the fishing industry. We are committed to producing processed products with export awareness to meet our goal: taking Argentina to the world,” Federico Angeleri concludes.
