TGA (Tayag-Goquingco Aquaculture) is looking at expanding its export market for its Filipino Nile Pacific Cherry Snapper product to include supermarkets in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Middle Eastern countries.

Rene Tayag, head of the five-year old tilapia production firm currently exporting to the United States, said the company is now seeking an accreditation by Qualibet Testing Services for the seal of excellence in all their export products.

With its commitment to total consumer safety, TGA has tapped Qualibet Testing services to conduct regular seminars on proper food handling and safety for their personnel. TGA fish produce are being closely monitored by Qualibet for Salmonella, E. Coli, S. Aureus contents.

TGA is an integration of TGA Farms, Inc., a hatchery and grow-out facility and Feedworld, Inc., a manufacturer of aqua feeds. As a primary stakeholder in the tilapia industry, TGA’s thrust is on business development with tilapia farmers, initiating joint ventures to utilize marginalized areas and to increase tilapia production in a sustainable manner. Its organization is committed to supply both local and international markets with quality fish products at competitive and stable prices while adhering to the principles of food safety.

Compared to Europe and America, very few companies in Asia have completed vertical integration in terms of aquaculture. TGA not only has the power to control cost in every aspect of production, have capability to develop new breeds of tilapia (genetic engineering), and develop the highest quality of feed and traceability, but also has the means to ensure that the tilapia produced is safe for human consumption and is of highest quality.
