Specification-led commercial buying
Premium Seafood & Shrimp Sourcing
High-value programs start with a precise buyer brief—not a luxury label. This is not an open marketplace or live stock list: you send one free request for farmed shrimp or fish, and our team checks supply options and, where suitable suppliers exist, returns comparable offers. Seafood sourcing complements our farm, hatchery, RAS and equipment procurement.

Farmed shrimp
Specify vannamei or black tiger where relevant, HOSO/HLSO or peeled form, count unit, treatment, glaze and IQF or block freeze.
Farmed fish
Define salmon or other farmed fish, origin, whole/fillet/portion form, weight range, packing and receiving window.
Other seafood: scope review
Tuna, lobster/crab, caviar/roe and sea urchin are potential buyer-request categories only. Declare wild or farmed; staff must assess product-market scope.
Buyer RFQs are free. Assisted sourcing requires USD 250,000+ total annual or seasonal program value, not per shipment. Human review and screened, mediated introductions; no availability, quality, certification, price or delivery guarantee. FishMatch Group facilitates sourcing; it does not sell seafood or take title to goods.

From farm infrastructure to commercial harvest
Plan the farm. Plan the harvest. Reach commercial buyers.
Plan ponds, RAS and equipment through the project path. For harvested fish and shrimp, send a separate commercial buyer brief for human review — not an instant order or live inventory search.
Specify species, product form, grade or size, volume, origin, harvest or delivery window, processing and packaging, cold chain, requested certifications, destination and preferred Incoterm. These are buyer requirements, not confirmed supply or verified certifications.
Staff assess the brief and confirm total program value before managed sourcing. Identities remain private under the current review and consent controls. No guaranteed match, price, sale or delivery.
Financing
Financing for commercial aquaculture projects
Equipment imported for a farm can qualify for government-backed export credit. Lenders look for real supplier quotes, a complete project file and working capital until the first harvest.
Up to 85%
Maximum official export-credit support of the export contract value, after a 15% down payment — OECD Arrangement, Jan 2026, Art. 11.
Up to 15 years
Maximum export-credit repayment term, never beyond the useful life of the equipment — OECD Arrangement, Art. 12.
Lender decides
Rate, tenor and approval are set by the independent lender. FishMatch prepares your project file and introduces providers — it is not a lender.
FishMatch Group is a buyer-side sourcing and procurement coordination service for commercial fish and shrimp supply and for aquaculture projects: farms, hatcheries, processing and equipment. You submit one structured RFQ; our team clarifies it, identifies potential suppliers, coordinates their questions, and helps you compare the information and quotations received. You decide whether to proceed. We coordinate introductions; we are not the seller, producer or importer.
Why buyers use sourcing support
Cross-border supplier discovery takes time
Finding producers, manufacturers or solution providers in other countries — and learning which ones can actually address your request — can take weeks of research and outreach.
Information and quotations are inconsistent
Offers arrive in different formats, currencies, units and delivery terms, often with missing details or unstated exclusions.
Price is only one part of the decision
Buyers need to compare specifications, commercial terms, volume and availability, documents and certifications, delivery conditions and risk.
Fragmented communication slows decisions
Questions and answers spread across email, chat and calls with several suppliers make it hard to see what is confirmed and what is still open.
The buyer journey in five steps
1
Submit a structured RFQ
Share product or project specifications, quantity or capacity, timing or season, origin preference and destination, required certificates and documents, packaging or technical requirements, and preferred delivery terms (for example an Incoterms® rule). Mark what is still unknown.
2
We clarify and identify options
Our team reviews the request, asks follow-up questions and identifies potential suppliers or solutions to approach. Nothing is sent to suppliers automatically.
3
We coordinate supplier questions
Through team-managed outreach we answer supplier questions and collect comparable information and quotations where suppliers provide them.
4
We help review what was received
Together we review commercial terms, specifications, volume, availability, documentation, logistics assumptions and open risks, with each point marked as supplier-stated, checked or missing.
5
You decide; we coordinate next steps
You choose whether to proceed. If you do, we coordinate the agreed next steps and introductions; if the requirement changes, we update the request and coordinate a revised round with suppliers. If you stop, nothing further is sent on your behalf. Contracts, payment, import and delivery obligations sit with the contracting parties.
We coordinate sourcing and procurement introductions for buyers. We do not own goods, and we are not the producer, manufacturer, seller of record, importer of record, inspection laboratory, customs broker or carrier. Managed sourcing support is for commercial requests of at least USD 250,000: total project value for aquaculture projects, or total annual or seasonal program value for seafood — not per shipment. Submitting an RFQ is free; buyers pay no fee, and suppliers cannot pay for ranking or shortlist position. The first human response comes within one business day; supplier quotation timing depends on the request and supplier responses. Smaller or early-stage requests can use the free guides and calculators.
FishMatch Group — also written Fish Match Group or FishMatchGroup, and often shortened to FishMatch or Fish Match — is the commercial aquaculture procurement platform of Global B2B Group, with its official site at fishmatchgroup.com. It is independent and supplier-neutral, for projects generally from USD 250,000 upward: buyers define fish farm, shrimp farm, hatchery, RAS and processing projects, prepare structured RFQs, and our team researches suitable independent manufacturers, integrators and EPC partners worldwide. It also takes reviewed buyer requests for farmed fish and shrimp supply programs from USD 250,000 a year; it is not an open seafood marketplace or a live stock list. FishMatch does not manufacture equipment, operate farms or provide financing itself.
What projects does FishMatch support?
Commercial RAS facilities, land-based fish farms, shrimp farms, hatcheries, pond and cage farms, seafood processing linked to aquaculture projects, and turnkey aquaculture projects.
How do you start a commercial fish farm?
Start from the production target — species, tonnes per year and the market you will sell to. Then confirm the site, water and power supply and the permits your country requires; choose the system (ponds, cages, flow-through or RAS) and lay out the farm; build the investment and operating budget from real quotes; and send one structured RFQ so every supplier prices the same scope. The farm planning guide covers each step, and its CAPEX calculator uses only figures you enter.Fish farm planning guideHow to build a commercial fish farmSite, permit and cost FAQ
What does aquaculture equipment and a fish farm cost?
There is no single price list: equipment cost depends on species, system, production scale, country and what each quote includes. Publicly reported investments show the range — Intensive trout complex, Uzbekistan: USD 2.5 million for 2 ha, 200 t fish + 2.5 million trout fry/year (Daryo, 2026); Rainbow trout project, Argentina: USD 22 million for 13,000 t over the first 5 years (Argentina Ministry of Agriculture, 2021); Vannamei shrimp ponds, Oman: USD 41.6 million (RO 16 million) for 200 ha, 4,000 t/year (Oman Observer, 2023); Offshore sea bream cage farm, Oman: USD 78 million (RO 30 million) for 152 ha, 5,000 t first phase (Muscat Daily, 2024). These are whole-project figures as stated by each source, not equipment-only prices or quotations; price your own equipment line by line from supplier quotes.Sources: Daryo (2026) · Argentina Ministry of Agriculture (2021) · Oman Observer (2023) · Muscat Daily (2024)Equipment total-cost guideRAS cost calculatorCost guides by farm type
How does the supplier sourcing process work?
A person reviews your project, the requirement is structured into one technical RFQ, suitable independent suppliers are researched and invited, and the proposals they provide are compared against the same scope before you decide whether to proceed. The first human response comes within one business day; supplier quotation timing depends on project complexity and supplier response.
