Pure Shrimp Initiative

Morubel is proud to announce the Pure Shrimp Initiative. The Pure Shrimp Initiative merges Morubel’s Pure business concept and Ristic’s Clean Shrimp Initiative. It encompasses our commitment to develop social, environmental and sustainable structures in the sourcing of shrimp and sustainable business throughout our entire supply chain. We focus on improving projects that aim at viable shrimp production, involving local partners.

The initiative benefits the trade because we can guarantee qualitative and safe products to the consumers, and offer retailers the opportunity to also take a more active part in selected Pure Shrimp Initiative projects.
At this moment; Pure Shrimp Initiative is working on several projects;

The preservation of natural mangrove forests in India and Costa Rica
The traditional production of black tiger prawns in West Bengal, India
The red shrimp project in Patagonia
