Greeting
Our company, established in 2008 as a wholesale market corporation within the Busan International Fisheries Distribution Facility, aims for transparent trading and price stability of domestic seafood. We engage in direct transactions with overseas producers from Japan, China, Russia, the United States, Southeast Asia, as well as domestic marine companies, facilitating the affordable and fresh distribution of seafood domestically and also engaging in international trade, including the export of domestic seafood.
Furthermore, we operate facilities including 22 live fish tanks, 3 cold storage buildings, and a frozen storage with a capacity of approximately 25,000 tons, putting our utmost efforts into enhancing transactions between suppliers and intermediaries.
In addition, we strive to expand our business scope through project ventures with affiliated companies, including EDCF-related overseas consulting, ship-related business, fisheries-related ventures, and overseas finance consulting. We maintain close relationships and a robust global network with overseas seafood stakeholders through international exchanges.
With the goal of becoming a global hub for seafood imports and a center for international seafood trade, all our employees are dedicated to their best efforts in this endeavor.
