Sea Harvest | Abalone farm and cheese factory visit

Avior recently hosted Sea Harvest and Brimstone on a site visit to Sea Harvest's aquaculture and cheese operations in Buffeljags and Ladismith respectively. We also visited one of Ladismith Cheese's largest milk suppliers. The two companies are recent acquisitions of Sea Harvest and serve to diversify its operations. The operations are sophisticated and well-run operations. We believe both businesses should prove to be earnings and value accretive to Sea Harvest over time.
