Processing Plant Support

HACCP-compliant processing, value-added product development, and cold chain management

Premium aquaculture product commands premium prices — but only when post-harvest handling, processing, and cold chain management meet international food safety standards. BKM's processing plant management service covers the full spectrum from live holding and primary processing through value-added product development, packaging specification, and cold chain logistics.

Our team ensures that every processing facility operates under HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points) principles, with documented CCPs (Critical Control Points) for microbial, physical, and chemical hazards. We implement SSOP (Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures) for all food contact surfaces and establish traceability systems — critical for access to premium European, Japanese, and North American export markets where documentation requirements are stringent.

BKM also advises on product portfolio development, helping investors identify the value-added processing formats (HOSO, HLSO, PTO, cooked/frozen, IQF) that maximise revenue per kilogram based on target market demand and price dynamics.
