WHAT WE DO
Established in 2015, we supply export quality seafood (live, chilled and frozen) to global markets, focusing on East Africa, GCC Countries and East Asia. Our supply chain starts off the coast of Somalia and end ups with retail markets all over the world and is composed of a network of our own fleet, fishermen’s cooperatives, and distributors
Mission
Our mission is to develop a vibrant fish processing and export business focusing on East Africa, Middle East and beyond.
Yustan is run by an experienced management team that maintain effective risk management and compliance practices,.
PHILOSOPHY
Our guiding principle is the continued assurance of quality, service, pricing and punctual delivery of premium seafood products. According to the FAO, the only fish stocks in the world that are actually “underfished” are in off Somalia’s coast. By working closely with our suppliers to ensure sustainable fishing practices our business sets the stage for the development of an ethical fishing sector.
“Somali waters have the potential to support some of the most productive fisheries in the world. Yet, the domestic fishing sector in Somalia is relatively small.”
Vision
Working with fishing cooperatives in Somaliland, Puntland, and South Central Somalia to ensure fair pricing for fishermen.
Widespread adoption of quality standards and international safety and sanitary certifications that would be necessary for export certifications
Work closely with stakeholders to increase entrepreneurship opportunities
Improving access to equipment and technical skills to ensure high-value catches for fisherfolk.
Collaborating with Somali stakeholders to ensure increased investment in renewable energy, processing and cold storage(ice-making/freezing).
