Why Kenyan Catfish is the Best Choice for Export – Quality from Charima Food Supplies
Kenyan catfish, particularly the African Catfish (Clarias gariepinus), is gaining global recognition for its premium quality, rich nutritional value, and sustainable farming practices. At Charima Food Supplies, we are proud to be at the forefront of exporting this high-demand product to international markets.
1. Naturally Superior Quality
Kenya’s climate and freshwater resources provide ideal conditions for aquaculture. This results in catfish that are:
-
Rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids
-
Firm in texture with a mild, clean taste
-
Low in fat and high in essential nutrients
These attributes make Kenyan catfish highly versatile for grilling, frying, smoking, or filleting—making them appealing to diverse culinary markets.

Kenya’s catfish is mostly farm-raised under controlled, eco-friendly conditions. Charima Food Supplies partners with local, certified farms that:
-
Use sustainable aquaculture practices
-
Avoid harmful antibiotics or chemicals
-
Focus on animal welfare and water conservation
This ensures a consistent supply of healthy, high-quality fish that meets global standards for food safety and sustainability.

-
Reliable, year-round availability

Vacuum-sealed, frozen, or fresh packaging tailored for long-distance export
Charima Food Supplies ensures that every batch of catfish is processed with care and precision, maintaining freshness from farm to shipment.
