The mandate
Tideline
A delta aquaculture farm raised black tiger prawn to a standard its domestic buyers neither recognised nor rewarded.
We took its product to a market that would. Through cold-chain audits and importer introductions, we placed the farm with a Tokyo wholesaler buying graded, traceable prawn for the premium end of the trade.
The two sides
Buyer
Tsukiji-line wholesaler
