Our history
Ayamo Foods is founded to promote South American seafood in Africa’s fast-growing, emerging market.
Our first international trade show. Solidified our presence in Angola as a key player for South American seafood, confirming we’re on the right path and generating consistent business volumes.
Opening of our first office in Itajaí, Brazil’s leading fishing hub, strengthening the foundation for the company’s growth and regional operations.
We took part in APAS Brazil for the first time with our own booth, welcoming key international clients and promoting our services and products to global markets.
This year was defined by diversification. Amid an economic downturn, determination and creativity helped us move forward, entering new markets and expanding our portfolio with new fish species.
We started new seafood business operations in Belém, Pará (Northern Brazil), with a strategic focus on exports to the U.S. and Asia. As part of our diversification, we also began exporting fish meal and fish oil.
A major milestone for Ayamo: the entry of new partners, adding valuable know-how and enabling the creation of our Meat Division.
A year of full expansion: the consolidation of our Meat Division and the creation of our Animal Nutrition Division, alongside partners who raised the company’s standards. To support this growth, we invested in a new office and expanded our team with new talent.
A year of consolidation: goals reached and achievements celebrated alongside our partners. We reinforced Ayamo’s presence as a global company, delivering trusted services and products under a brand built on reliability.
New projects and strategic hiring. We restructured the business with a stronger focus on performance, on-the-ground execution, and trade innovation. We also opened our Taiwan office and refined the alignment of the company’s DNA.
Proud to celebrate 10 years of growth, milestones, and achievements.
We strategically established a U.S. office to expand our reach across Africa and Asia. This move increased our presence in these key markets, allowing us to better support our clients. Additionally, the office began importing South American seafood, strengthening our supply chain and diversifying our portfolio.
Our move to a new headquarters in Itajaí reflects continuous growth and a strong commitment to operational excellence, preparing the company for future milestones and long-term success
We experienced exponential team growth, expanded into new markets, reached a record number of shipments, and celebrated major achievements. All of this fuels our drive to go even further in 2025
It was a year marked by records and the expansion of our team. We advanced into new markets, expanded our product portfolio, and further strengthened our operations, consolidating growth and preparing the way for even greater achievements.
15 years and we’re still going strong sharing achievements!
