How we work

Independent aquaculture sourcing — built for serious industrial buyers.

FishMatch Group is the private sourcing layer between industrial fish and shrimp farms, project owners, governments and the manufacturers that build the sector. This page explains, in full, how we vet suppliers, protect your identity, and get you comparable quotations without exposing your project to the market.

The process

From private brief to signed contract.

01
Private brief

You send a private RFQ or emergency need — species, system, capacity, site, timeline, budget. No public listing. No cold calls.

02
Sourcing triage

Our sourcing team reviews your brief, benchmarks it against comparable global projects, and shortlists manufacturers that match your species, capacity and region.

03
Supplier vetting

Each shortlisted supplier is checked for corporate registration, reference projects, in-region service capability, current lead time and export experience — before we contact them.

04
Blind outreach

We approach suppliers on your behalf under FishMatch Group. Your name, company, coordinates and financials are never shared until you approve the counterparty.

05
Comparable quotations

You receive 1–3 comparable quotations with normalized scope, delivery terms, warranty and after-sales — plus our internal notes on strengths and risks.

06
Direct contract

You contract directly with the manufacturer of your choice. FishMatch remains available for negotiation support, logistics, financing introductions and project follow-up.

Why buyers trust us

Four commitments — in writing.

Buyer identity confidentiality

Your name, company and site coordinates are withheld from suppliers until you approve a shortlist. Financials are never shared without written consent.

Independent, not a manufacturer

FishMatch Group is not a manufacturer, distributor, broker or lender. We are not a party to any supply, EPC or financing contract — you sign directly with the counterparty.

One sourcing team, one point of contact

One aquaculture specialist owns your file end-to-end: RFQ, quotes, negotiation, logistics and financing introductions — across time zones and languages.

Global reach, regional depth

Project-matched partners across Europe, Asia, LATAM, Africa, the Gulf and North America. Species specialists for shrimp, tilapia, salmon, sea bass, sea bream and trout.

Commercial model

Buyer-side is free. Supplier-side is transparent.

Buyers submit RFQs, receive quotations, use our calculators, and negotiate with matched suppliers at no cost. There is no subscription, no listing fee and no data resale.

FishMatch Group is compensated by manufacturers on closed opportunities only. The commission does not sit on top of your price — it is factored into the quote you receive from the supplier, exactly as it would be for the supplier's own sales team. The commission does not create any preference: every project-matched manufacturer for your specification is invited to compete.

Where financing is involved, FishMatch may receive a referral fee from an independent financing partner if a facility closes. This is disclosed and does not affect the financing terms you are offered.
