About the
Sea harvest group
Who we are
The Sea Harvest Group is a leading seafood, agri-processing and branded fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) business with a global footprint. Sea Harvest was established in 1964 and has developed a strong reputation and solid long-term relationships with its geographically diverse international customer base.
The Group harvests wild-caught seafood off the coasts of South Africa and Australia and processes the catch into a variety of chilled and frozen premium seafood products. Through Sea Harvest Aquaculture, we farm shellfish species. Our varied wild-caught and farmed products are then packed and marketed to a local and international customer base. Our agri-processing business produces value-added dairy products, such as cheese, butter and powders, for the South African retail and foodservice markets. Our convenience foods business produces premium convenience foods for the retail and foodservice markets in Southern Africa.
Sea Harvest Group is a Level 1 contributor in terms of the South African Department of Trade and Industry’s broad-based black economic empowerment (B-BBEE) scorecard, as a result of its commitment to the economic and social transformation of South Africa, especially within the local communities in which it operates.
