BELGIUM
TESS AGRO PLC’s Processing Facilities are operated in strict compliance to EU and USA food safety regulations. In 2012 the company set up a Branch in Belgium to develop its presence in the EU market.
Tess's Belgium business unit imports fish from the Company and other countries and supplies it to the end user (restaurants, supermarkets, hotels), eventually eliminating the need for an intermediate dealer. This has augured well for Tess in the long run by easing
margin pressures.
​
Tess Belgium enjoys the privilege of importing fish from other fish-exporting countries (such as Maldives, Indonesia, and Philippines) and distributing it in the EU (Tess Belgium can operate as an intermediate dealer in the EU).
