1 Since 1977

2 Omarsa, Sustainable Shrimp Exporter Since 1977 Omarsa has been dedicated to the cultivation, processing and export of sustainable shrimp. Our dedication to providing the best sustainable products in these 40 years has positioned us among the top 3 exporters of shrimp in Ecuador with a broad diversification of markets successfully processing shrimp as headon, head-less and value-added. Omarsa has a vertically integrated operation: direct production process in hatcheries, shrimp farms, processing plant and commercialization which allows us to guarantee our customers the highest quality standards. 2 Hatcheries 3 Farms 1 Processing Plant

3 Shrimp hatcheries Our hatcheries, Tabasca & Mar Bravo, meet requirements of recognized private international certifications. Omarsa's hatcheries work with a selective breeding program based on growth and resistance of the breeding stock. The breeders are selected from our own shrimp farms in a closed cycle. There are no wild larvae allowed in the cycle. There are two phases in this process: maturation (the actual breeding of the shrimp) and larviculture (nursery of the shrimp). There is no genetic manipulation involved in this process. There is an 100 % free of Eyestalk ablation (Regulation 834/EU/2007, Organic Standards).

4 Shrimp farms

5 Shrimp farms Omarsa has three shrimp farms strategically located in areas which are known to be of high production yields. We have more than 3,200 hectares of farmed shrimp, located in estuarine zones (natural shrimp environment) during the juvenile and pre-adults (commercial sizes). Since all these sectors are under sea water influence, tides ensure renovation of water avoiding stagnated waters. Chongón: 914,20 hectares (Global Gap, Regulation EU/834/2007, Naturland) Cachugrán: 1, hectares (Global Gap, BAP/ACC) Puná: 1, hectares (Global Gap) The production systems have been carefully selected in order to reduce the impact on the environment, having implemented certified systems in all our farms and organic standards in Chongón. All production sites are managed under a zero antibiotic philosophy, promoting the use of probiotics and natural fertilizers. All shrimp farms have quality of water analysis and health monitoring.
