The appointment of Jesus Vicente Piero Sos, a seasoned businessman in the agri products business in Spain as Business Development Advisor, International Markets based in Valencia, Spain has enabled the Company to engage directly with large high value clients, Distributors and retail chains in Spain and Italy and the Company's order books are full for shipments to the end of the year to cater to the Christmas and New year sales.

Shaji stated that these initiatives will require more investments into value added processing and working capital. In order to facilitate the same, the Company has taken the necessary steps to monetise part of the land banks and real estate assets held by the Company. This is the best time for the same since the infrastructure sector is also very vibrant and real estate is booming in North Bangalore, Kochi and Tuticorin where the Company has its land banks.

After the development of the Eco Maritech Units (EMU), the balance land with almost 1.1 km long pristine beach frontage is being offered for joint development as an Entertainment hub, Marina and Resorts to leading National and International brands which will give multiple revenue streams, cash accruals and valuations.
Additionally he informed that the Company is offering about 12 acres of prime commercial property near to Cochin International Airport, 10 acres of land adjacent to Bangalore International Airport in joint development or outright sale to leading developers as a part of our monetization plan to reinvest the same for scaling up our core business of sustainable aquaculture.
