Platinum Corporation's food division services both the West African and the Middle East markets. The company sources high quality products globally and offers each market a range of offerings to suit local demands and needs.

In the West African countries, frozen fish has emerged to be the most economic source of nutrition for mass consumption being cheaper than meat and poultry. The consumption trends have shown a steady increase, resulting in sustained demand for specific varieties all through the year.

With the fish supply from regional waters depleting rapidly and the fish farming activities not taking off as expected, the demand is being met from imports. The EU is the dominant supplier of frozen seafood products with more than 70% of market share in the country. Other supplying countries include China, Korea, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, USA & Gambia, Mauritania, Namibia, Morocco, etc.

Platinum has well cemented relationships with leading suppliers in the EU, China and other countries leading to dominance in this product line within West Africa. Platinum’s range of species includes Mackerel, Horse Mackerel, Blue Whiting, Sardinella, Croaker and Herring.

While for the Middle East, Platinum has focused on a wide range of products including poultry, meat, frozen vegetables/fruits, edible oil and whole host of processed food products.
