Szegedfish Kft.

The main activities of the SZEGEDFISH Ltd. range from freshwater fish farming and fish breeding to milk production. The dairy farm is located not too far from the city of Szeged next to the E5 highway. The 400 holstein cows annual milking capacity reaches 8000 l/c. As a result of the careful breeding system, the computerised feeding and the automatic milking technology, the quality of the milk is extra, with high protein and fat production. The fish breeding and production in the artificial fishponds started in 1930. The ponds are 10 km far from the city of Szeged toward Northeast. The artificial fishponds spread over an area 2000 ha (20 km2), due to development procedures in the last decades. Thanks to some natural geographic qualities (a favourable microclimate, soil properties, water supply, etc.) moreover the research done by our own agricultural staff, the fish bred here is outstanding in terms of taste and quality, being well-known in Hungary and in the neighbouring countries. About 40% of the annual fish production, which contains common carp, grass carp, catfish, silver carp, is exported mainly to the West-European countries, to the Italian, German, French markets, and also to several East-European countries such as Poland, Croatia. Naturally we supply to a lot of markets to the inland. Our company have managed to breed an officially recognised and registered own carp variety, the ?Szeged Mirror Carp? as a result of the long term in-house research. This variety has adapted well to the local particularities of the fishponds, is genetically resistant, with excellent fat less meat quality and delicious taste. Our company has got own officially accredited fish hatchery as the recognised breeder organisation, registered by the Hungarian Ministry of Agriculture.
