From senior leadership

"Most traders sit between fishery and buyer with little visibility into either. Our model is the inverse."

Oscar Yen Co-Director · Global Trade Business Group Head of Trade & Commodity Research
Approach

Vertically integrated.
Research-led.

Most seafood traders sit between fishery and buyer with limited visibility in either direction. Baixian Trade is built differently. Through Baixian Group, we operate processing, cold storage, and trade execution as owned assets, with origin sourcing through a 30+ vessel contract network across Taiwan and mainland China and shore-processing partnerships in Peru and Chile.

That structure is what lets us speak to a Spanish foodservice buyer about Patagonian cohort dynamics, or a Japanese trading house about NPFC quota policy, with primary operational data — not industry rumor.
