About Us

Our History

In October 2014, the European retail company Hofer KG showed interest to start a Private Public Partnership project in West Bengal later named West Bengal Traditional Black Tiger Project (WTBT). This project was a joint venture between Hofer KG and the Austrian Development Agency (ADA) and was supported by Ristic GmbH (SHORE Group), one of the leading shrimp importers in Europe.

The project had two objectives: On the one hand, developing a certified organic supply chain and on the other hand, improving the social and ecological situation in the farming area.

After the successful closure of the Hofer KG project in January 2017 Blue Sea Aquaculture Private Limited was formed as a spin-off of the Hofer KG project. Apurba Saha, founder of Blue Sea Aquaculture Private Limited, started the company with the objective of becoming a pioneering company for organic and sustainable seafood in India.

Our Vision & Mission

Blue Sea Aquaculture is pioneer in organic aquaculture production and marketing in India . Currently, our supply chain for the Black Tiger Shrimp is the only certified organic aquaculture operation in the country. We are committed to develop more organic and sustainable seafood supply chains for Indian consumers.

Our Philosophy

• As for all perishable products, food safety is of utmost importance. However, according to our philosophy, food safety is only one important aspect besides many other quality factors.
• Generally, we believe that a product can only be as good as the environment it got produced in.
• YOU as a consumer deserve a safe and tasty, nicely appealing product. BUT as our responsibility goes far beyond conventional quality management requirements WE strongly believe that a farm worker deserves fair working conditions and that the environment gets treated with all carefulness as there is only one Earth.
• Cutting out unnecessary intermediaries in the supply chain is an important part of our company philosophy. Instead we reuse the created value and distribute it among all stakeholders. Thus, we achieve a thriving and sustainable business environment that ensures long term quality, environmental sustainability and fairness
• This is how we define a holistic approach.
