IOT finalizes a first sale of sea cucumbers

The Madagascan company IOT, founded in 2012 by Jaco Chan Kit Waye and Olivier Méraud and specialized in the breeding of sea cucumbers, has recently closed its first exportation.

IOT has developped, in partnership with a local team of scientists, a new growing technique of sea cucumbers in Madagascar, pursuing a twofold objective, both social and environmental. Through this activity, IOT generates additional income for the fishing communities and contribute to reduce overfishing.

IOT has sold a total of 450 kgs of sea cucumbers to Singapore-based clients.
