About us

FishMatch Group: the specialized aquaculture platform of Global B2B Group.

FishMatch Group is a supplier-neutral, human-reviewed sourcing service that helps buyers of commercial aquaculture projects (USD 250,000 and above) prepare RFQs and compare qualified third-party suppliers; it does not manufacture, build or operate equipment or farms. It focuses exclusively on fish farms, shrimp farms, RAS facilities, hatcheries, seafood processing, cold chain and export infrastructure — powered by the shared ecosystem of Global B2B Group.

Summary
Name and official website

FishMatch Group — also written Fish Match Group, FishMatchGroup, Fish MatchGroup or Fish-Match-Group, and shortened to FishMatch (Fish Match). The official website is fishmatchgroup.com; it is the only FishMatch Group site for commercial aquaculture procurement.

Parent organization

Global B2B Group — the parent group and buyer-first B2B marketplace for agricultural and food commodities, including seafood, with special machinery and production lines as a secondary lane.

Specialization

FishMatch Group is the specialized aquaculture platform within the Global B2B Group ecosystem. It supports commercial aquaculture buyers with project definition, structured RFQs, human-reviewed supplier research, proposal comparison and, on request, introductions to independent financing providers.

Part of Global B2B Group

FishMatch Group is the specialized aquaculture project-procurement platform within Global B2B Group. It combines structured project intake and human-reviewed RFQs, preliminary planning tools and supplier-neutral research for commercial fish, shrimp, hatchery and RAS projects. Global B2B Group does not own the goods traded through it, operate farms, manufacture equipment, perform engineering or guarantee project execution. Buying seafood or other food commodities as traded goods? Source commodities through Global B2B Group.

How that works in practice: structured procurement for aquaculture projects and free project calculators. Both pages are also available in Spanish, French, German, Arabic and Chinese, including the Arabic project calculators.

Coverage

Fish farms, shrimp farms, RAS facilities, hatcheries, processing plants, cold chain, water treatment, feed mills and export facilities. Requests are reviewed case by case for the buyer's country.

Business model

Free for qualified buyers. Suppliers cannot pay for ranking or shortlist position. Financing referrals are made to independent third-party providers.

Parent organization

Who is Global B2B Group?

Parent Company

Global B2B Group is the parent group of FishMatch Group and the group's buyer-first B2B marketplace for sourcing agricultural and food commodities — including fish, shrimp and other seafood, poultry, eggs, fruit and vegetables — for international business buyers, with commodity requests from USD 250,000. It keeps a secondary lane for special machinery and production lines. Buyers use it free of charge; requests are reviewed before screened suppliers are approached, and the group does not own the goods, farms or equipment.

Specialized platforms in the group keep their own domain expertise and request processes: FishMatch Group for aquaculture projects, FeedMatch Group for aquafeed, ColdMatch Group for cold chain, HatchMatch Group for poultry hatcheries and SeedMatch Group for crop and greenhouse inputs. They are not separate commodity marketplaces.

FishMatch Group is the aquaculture vertical of Global B2B Group. It exists to make commercial aquaculture projects — fish farms, shrimp farms, RAS, hatcheries and processing — faster to plan, easier to procure and better prepared for independent financing conversations.

Source commodities through Global B2B Group

Why FishMatch was created

Commercial aquaculture deserves real procurement infrastructure.

Aquaculture is one of the fastest-growing protein industries in the world, yet many projects are still sourced through informal email chains, personal contacts and intermediaries whose margins and scope assumptions are hard to compare.

FishMatch Group was created inside Global B2B Group to close that gap: project-matched suppliers, structured RFQs, engineered project templates and independent financing partners — one platform, the entire commercial aquaculture supply chain.

Our mission

Match every fish, shrimp and RAS project with comparable supplier proposals.

We help buyers turn a commercial fish or shrimp project into a clear specification, compare project-matched supplier quotes against that same specification, and prepare for independent financing conversations — with a person reviewing every request.

Our team

People who vet RAS builders and suppliers — not an automatic marketplace.

Offices in London (headquarters) and Nicosia, Cyprus.

Project review

Aquaculture specialists read every request, check species, capacity, site and budget, and shape it into a clear specification.

Supplier sourcing

Sourcing staff match each specification to suitable manufacturers and EPC firms and collect comparable quotes.

Financing preparation

We help qualified projects prepare documents and introduce them to independent financing providers. We are not a lender.

Who uses the platform

Six audiences. One platform.

Commercial fish farms

RAS, cage, pond and hybrid operations — from 100 t to 10,000 t capacity.

Commercial shrimp farms

Ponds, biofloc, RAS shrimp, hatcheries and post-larvae systems.

Investors & funds

Aquaculture and blue-economy investors evaluating projects, sponsors and CAPEX packages.

Engineering & EPC firms

Design, procurement and construction firms sourcing verified subsystems and vendors.

Governments & DFIs

Ministries, development finance institutions and export credit agencies driving national aquaculture programmes.

Food & seafood companies

Vertically integrated producers, retailers and traders building or expanding supply.

Supplier participation

How RAS builders and equipment suppliers participate

  1. 1. Suppliers apply to the network and are selected for certifications, export experience, capacity and after-sales support.
  2. 2. Approved suppliers are indexed by category, species, capacity range and country coverage.
  3. 3. When a qualified RFQ matches their profile, they receive a structured brief and respond with a quote.
  4. 4. Supplier identity is disclosed to the buyer only after both sides confirm mutual interest.
Financing

How financing works

  1. 1. Projects complete a structured intake and readiness score (site, sponsor, CAPEX, off-take, permits).
  2. 2. A bankable project package is prepared — technical scope, CAPEX/OPEX, sensitivity and risk register.
  3. 3. Qualified packages are referred to independent financing providers: export credit agencies, development finance institutions, commercial banks and specialized funds.
  4. 4. All financing decisions and terms are made solely by the financing provider. FishMatch Group is not a lender.
Group ecosystem

Part of the Global B2B Group platforms

Aquaculture rarely stops at the pond edge. When a project also needs a separate bulk feed supply or standalone cold storage, buyers can use the relevant sister platform of Global B2B Group. Each platform runs its own separate, human-reviewed request process.

Our press releases, and where they were republished, are listed on FishMatch Group press releases, each labelled by type.

FeedMatch Group

Bulk aquafeed and feed-ingredient sourcing when a fish or shrimp project needs a separate feed supply.

ColdMatch Group

Standalone cold storage, ice and freezing infrastructure beyond the farm's own harvest handling.

How we operate

Four principles. Zero compromise.

Project-matched suppliers

Manufacturers, EPC firms and technology providers are researched for relevant certifications, export experience and after-sales support before shortlisting. FishMatch does not guarantee supplier performance, and supplier identities are not shown to buyers during evaluation.

Specification-led matching

Projects are routed to suitable suppliers by species, capacity, country, budget and technical fit, so proposals can be compared on the same scope.

Human project experts

An aquaculture specialist reviews every request — specs, layout, climate, biosecurity, automation — before quotes reach the buyer.

Turnkey scopes + financing preparation

Equipment packages, full farm-build scopes and, on request, preparation for introductions to independent financing providers. FishMatch is not a lender or contractor.
