Makamba

a brand with a long-standing tradition in wild-caught shrimps

The name Makamba, which means ‘prawn’ in Malagasy, reflects the brand’s original DNA.
Since 2003, the entire production of wild shrimps caught in Madagascar by Pechexport has been packaged under the MAKAMBA brand.

These shrimps are :

  • caught by a dedicated fleet of freezer trawlers,
  • frozen on board, ensuring optimal quality,
  • processed in accordance with strict specifications,
  • and sold in 1.5 kg and 2 kg boxes, intended exclusively for professional use.

Today, MAKAMBA is a recognised brand on the European market, associated with consistent supply, product quality and producer reliability.
