Does PARD operate under any internationally recognised quality standards or benchmarks?

Both product safety and quality are paramount to PARD and our entire Group of Companies. Our ultimate parent company - Hong Kong Stock Exchange-listed Pacific Andes International Holdings (PAIH) was the first company in China, and amongst the first in Asia, to achieve certification under the rigorous ISO22000 international food safety system for its fish processing plants. In 2003, PAIH also established China's first world-class independent food testing laboratory - Sino Analytica - supported by the UK-based Central Science Laboratory, with an emphasis on the social, economic and environmental importance of food safety and redefining safety standards in China's food processing industry.

What is the outlook for the fishing industry?

Looking ahead, the sustained increase in demand for animal protein as a result of a growing global population and rising affluence will continue to drive the industry's growth. This growth will come from 2 dimensions - the first of which is greater fish consumption, the second of which is increased fishmeal use for animal farming and aquaculture.

Some of the markets that the PARD operates in, such as Peru, may be subject to political instability. Is PARD taking any steps to mitigate the political risks?

Under the Legal Stability Agreement which we have entered into with the Peruvian government, a term exists to protect the Group against changes in Peruvian law for a period of 10 years from the date of the agreement. In addition, Peru has entered into a bilateral agreement with Singapore, which has been effective since August 12, 2006. Hence, our Singapore incorporated Group of companies are able to take advantage of the protections offered by the treaty. Furthermore, Pacific Andes takes all necessary steps to minimize political risks in markets in which it operates.
