Fishing for new opportunities…
In September 2000, Baccarat Corporation concluded a major deal in Spain for the supply of South African frozen fish to the European market. Baccarat Corporation exports fish mainly to Spain who, in turn, distributes to Portugal, Belgium, the Netherlands and the rest of Europe.
Investing in South Africa's future
The fishing industry was, until recently, inaccessible to most South Africans, and has many obstacles for previously disadvantaged businesspeople. However, this did not dampen Baccarat Corporation's interest in and passion for the fishing industry, which led to us purchasing our own 40m factory trawl vessel. This experience has led Baccarat Corporation into a deep understanding of the complexities of the acquisition and supply of fish to international markets.
Vision and Commitment
Baccarat Corporation is continually scanning the globe for like-minded companies who share their vision for the upliftment and development of the fishing industry in South Africa. It is their strong belief that such ventures will strengthen the co-opted parties to add value South African fishing industry.
Baccarat Corporation has earned the support and respect of influential businesspeople in South Africa, including previous MEC for Cape Town, Chris Nissen, who provides them with the advice, expertise and exposure to the industry.
The rock solid agreements and relationships forged between some of the strongest co-operatives and freighting specialists in Southern Africa mean that Baccarat Corporation has established ourselves as worldwide traders - able to supply the very best products in prime condition, anywhere in the world.
