About CFTO - Compagnie Française du Thon Océanique sas

THE LEADING TROPICAL TUNA FISHING COMPANY IN FRANCE Descendants of the pioneers of French tropical fishing, CFTO operates in the Atlantic Ocean and Indian Oceans from its hubs in Abidjan (Ivory Coast) and in Port-Victoria (Seychelles). CFTO is part of P&P Group (Parlevliet & van der Plas). Established expertise: With 14 purse-seiners vessels and 1 support vessel at the forefront of technology, our Company is the largest in France, with an annual production of more 70,000 T of tropical tuna, including approximately 60 % of large yellowfin tuna. From Africa to Europe, from Asia to Latin America, canneries around the World appreciate the high quality of our tuna, the regular delivery and the independence of our Company. Sustainability: In accordance with national and European regulations, as well as recommendations from Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (ICCAT and CTOI), our crew work in complete transparency according to the principles of responsible and sustainable fishing (MSC certify), independently from processing industry. Our main concern is the sustainability of marine resources : -by targeting as a priority, large matured yellowfin in free-swimming schools -by actively limiting the number of beacons and deploying only non-entangling fish aggregating devices (FADs), thus helping to reduce by-catch. -by working together with scientists to improve understanding of tropical tuna.
