Seafood & Fish — IQF Mediterranean sardines from EU-approved plants and 65 % fishmeal for aquafeed
Egypt's Mediterranean fleet lands sardines from Alexandria to Port Said, and the country's aquaculture sector — the largest in Africa — makes it a structural importer of fishmeal. Egypt Globe Group supplies IQF and block-frozen sardines (whole or headed-gutted-tailed) from EU-approved Egyptian establishments, frozen tilapia and shrimp on request, and steam-dried Peruvian / Chilean / Moroccan fishmeal at 65 % crude protein for aquafeed and livestock mills.
Frozen-fish claims arise from histamine, TVB-N, broken cold chain, excess glaze and establishment numbers not on the importer's approved list. The Quality Assurance division verifies core temperature, glaze, histamine and TVB-N on every lot at the port cold-store, confirms the GOVS health certificate and EU establishment approval, and issues the CoA before the Bill of Lading.
