About us
PRIMAR AQUACULTURE is the first certified organic aquaculture farm in Brazil.
Located at Sítio São Félix, at the south coast of the state of Rio Grande do Norte, in Tibau do Sul, PRIMAR AQUACULTURE has 40 hectares of production ponds which present ideal conditions for farming estuarine species. This carefully chosen property maintains a tradition in aquaculture that dates back to the early 50’s.
Established in 1993 by the biologist Alexandre Wainberg, PRIMAR AQUACULTURE started its history by cultivating the native shrimp Penaeus subtilis. Within 10 years it progressed to the intensive monoculture of the whiteleg shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei. PRIMAR’s sales started in the local market from 1993 to 1999, and then began to export its production in partnership with a seafood processing company.
