Through our management team whom have decades of experience in fishing, operations and marketing, our global mission at Afritex is to foster a culture of teamwork, continuous improvement and fair and ethical business practices. Our vision is to be the premier and first choice supplier of seafood from the Indian Ocean and to strive to maintain the importance of excellent customer service and the highest quality supply of seafood.

The Afritex group have signed an agreement with Sustainable Fisheries Partnership (SFP), one of the largest NGO sustainability organisations in the world and is a member of their Tuna Roundtable. In collaboration with SFP our group will be developing a Fisheries Improvement Plan which will incorporate all our fishing entities in our continuous strive to reshape the world of sustainability of the oceans. All our Longline operations are Dolphin Safe certified.

Our dedication and passion towards the preservation of the oceans is of utmost importance to us and we practice sustainability in all aspects of our operations. Specific sustainability procedures are carried out on board our vessels, some of which include practising dolphin safe procedures; non-use of shark lines and avoiding shark hot spots; setting gears at night to avoid risk to birds; avoiding interaction with marine mammals by communication between our vessels; reducing soak times and avoiding the catch of species on the endangered list.
