Sustainability Leader OCI is a global leader in seafood sustainability with MSC certification for a large portion of its quota and raw material base, presenting an opportunity to position as a partner for customers seeking responsibly sourced seafood.

MSC Certification Growth With more than two-thirds of quota and materials soon MSC-listed and the largest MSC certified seafood volume in Canada, there is a strong value proposition for clients prioritizing certified sustainable products, especially in premium or export markets.

US Market Expansion Recent hires and facility expansion in the United States, including a new US sales director and Long Pond facility developments, indicate an active push into US markets ripe for distribution partnerships and co-branding with retailers or foodservice chains.

Asset Attrition Risk Notable recent asset divestitures such as the Port aux Choix shrimp plant sale and regulatory loan dispute news suggest potential capacity adjustments; sales teams can offer alternative sourcing options, contract manufacturing, or capacity-backed supply agreements to mitigate supply risk for customers.

Diverse Species Portfolio OCI offers a wide species mix from snow crab and lobster to cod, shrimp, scallops, and other finfish, enabling cross-sell opportunities across multiple restaurant concepts, retailers, and distributors seeking diverse seafood offerings.
