- Full Description
-
A Spanish company dedicated to the collection and sale of Gelidium is interested in expanding its customer network and seeks to establish commercial and supply agreements with companies interested in buying or distributing its product.
The company has international experience and currently sells to more than 10 countries. The collection process is carried out using the "arribazón" method, which allows for maximum respect for the characteristics of the seaweed. The seaweed is dried at room temperature to preserve all its properties until optimal conditions for subsequent storage are achieved. Currently, the company is in the process of obtaining organic certification and is working to obtain the "intertidal license" that covers other species, positioning the Spanish region as one of the world's leading seaweed suppliers.
The company prioritizes environmental respect and promotes and preserves aquaculture in the region, defending the survival of traditional seaweed harvesting and the families that depend on this sector. The company is looking for partners interested in buying the product and actively seeks to establish commercial or supply agreements. These partnerships will allow them to introduce their products and increase their presence in international markets.
Additionally, the company seeks to establish collaboration agreements with companies in the cosmetics, agri-food, and biofertilizer sectors to test the product and develop research projects to create new products. The company is interested in researching how the region's seaweed can be used as fertilizer and participating in the European Union's "Farm to Fork" strategy as an alternative protein for both animal and human consumption. - Advantages and Innovations
