Crocofactory Ltda is located in North Colombia, with 4000 animals (3000 female and 1000 male) The business associates of Crocofactory Ltda come from Italy, Colombia and The Netherlands.
Crocofactory Ltda. was founded on July 11 2007 in Monteria, Colombia.
The main business of our company is breeding crocodiles (caiman cocodrylus fuscus) for its skin. The common name for this crocodile is “babilla”. Our main markets for selling these skins are countries like Singapore, Taiwan, Correa, Japan, Mexico, Italy and France. With the current operation we are limited to the markets of crocodile skins. The crocodile meat has a high nutrition profile, but can’t be processed in the required way with the actual slaughter facilities. Hence therefore the meat is processed into crocodile food. The markets of crocodile meat will be our new target. For that aim we need to invest in a mobile slaughter facility that can serve our own needs and that of our colleagues in a wide logistic circle. The markets of crocodile meat are steadily growing and crocodile meat finds a growing acceptance in western and eastern kitchens. Until now, the largest customers are in Asian markets, but we find a growing demand in South American countries and other western markets. In this moment, there is no possibility to slaughter crocodiles in a clean hygiene manner, for this reason is it impossible to sell this meat on any market. In addition, We are cooperating with the University of Cordoba to develop the best slaughter process for these crocodiles. By doing that we will fulfill all the demands and we will follow all the latest regulations that exist worldwide.
With selling crocodile meat, we are increasing the sustainability of the process and we will have a good financial reward on this additional business.
The managing people of the Crocofactory have a vast experience in the sector and the company has already connections with the markets it wants to serve. A professional network has built up with colleague farms, the university of Cordoba and federation. We expect a relative quick return on the investments and a sustainable growth of our existing business of skins and our business of meat to develop.
