Value Added Processors
A processor buys raw material that has to survive a second process. Yield, texture after reheating and residue compliance matter more than the headline price.
Industry Pain Points
- Fish that loses structure through a second cook step
- Low yield when the raw material arrives over trimmed or under trimmed
- Drug residue risk that lands on the processor at destination
- Suppliers that cannot run a non standard trimming or skinning grade
- Glazing that hides the true net weight in a yield calculation
What These Buyers Need
- Firm species such as red drum fish and barramundi
- Trimming and skinning grades written to specification
- Veterinary drug residue testing and traceable farming records
- Declared glazing between 5% and 20%
- Block and tray formats alongside IQF
