Tropical Farming Pvt Ltd
Welcome to
Tropical Farming Private Limited is duly registered with the Ministry of Trade & Economic Development of Government of Maldives to engage in the process of fishing and fish export.
Maldives Tuna is quite different from other parts of the world due to high percentage of salinity around the small islands of Maldives whish is scattered in the middle of Indian Ocean. We have sea ( 98% ) more than land. Therefore, Maldives fish makes a difference from others.

KATUSOBISHI
Katuobushi is the Japanese name for a specific type of smoked dried tuna. Although Katuobushi is a form of dried skipjack, the product may be said to be similar to the traditional Maldive Fish. However, the process of smoke drying which lasts for 21 days at a minimum as opposed to less than a week’ s drying for normal smoked skipjack means that Katuobushi is much drier, therefore a better preserved product. Quality of the product is maintained by using specially imported wood from Japan at specific stages of smoking and by using Refrigerated Containers for shipping the finished product.
Individual processes fine-tune the processing cycle to suit the extreme end of the niche market by supplementing the drying and smoking stages with custom processes, using humidifiers and differentiated packaging.
Japanese Katuobushi processors prefer skipjack caught in the Maldivian waters because of lower fat content. Only the best of the harvest, preferably when landed with ice or in the morning is accepted by the quality conscious processors as raw material for their plants.
Japanese technical know-how is fully used with the pick of quality from the Maldivian Skipjack Industry.
