Blue Gold Foods: Select Tilapia
 
 
Chay Chak Blue Gold Foods has successfully proved its ability to grow and harvest Tilapia ready for market. A generation of our exclusive Tilapia strain have been grown to maturity in on-site test ponds at Hacienda Xixim. Our local labor force is experienced in both aquaculture and processing. Locating in the Yucatan combines the benefits of year-round production due to the tropical climate,
favorable transport rates compared with competitive producers, a trainable local labor force, and ample flat land and resources for future expansion.
