Company description:
Primar is a family-owned enterprise that cultivates Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) at the São Félix Ranch in Tibau do Sul County, in the southern coast of the state of Rio Grande do Norte. Primar was founded in 1992, then converted to organic production methods in accordance with IFOAM guidelines in 2002 and acquired organic certification from the Instituto Biodinâmico of Brazil.
The “Primar Organic Aquaculture System” adopts and promotes low-impact ecological management practices because of our concern with environmental and social issues. Ecological management of each pond is used to to create a balanced, diverse ecosystem: ponds are seeded with species of different ecological niches such as shrimp, oysters and fish. In this way, natural resources are conserved in a way that reduces the environmental impacts around and inside the farm, while protecting species from disease and stress.
In 2004, Primar opened its direct sales department and offering the highest quality product to customers in Brazil and internationally. Our sales are primarily to residential consumers, restaurants, hotels, buffets, catering companies, major events, etc. Investment capital will be used to improve industrial infrastructure. Primar expects a payback period of 5 years and an IRR of over 60%.
