The article has a link back to the original purchase of Enzaq, and the key of green-lipped mussels is supply - that is why the owners sold to Sanford. Sanford obviously have capital and expanded the Enzaq business already.
There are other companies like Aroma doing (freeze-dried) mussel powder and other marine products. They have their own raw material supply.
Given the situation in the Sounds, and basically no expansion of mussel farming, then supply seems to be the key for that particular product.
PAZ have told me they have no supply problems with mussels,kiwi fruit , blackcurrants,or any other product.
They have never had an issue with mussels.I think there was a shortage a couple of years ago.I spoke to PAZ's CEO at the time,and he told me they were sourcing all they required ,no problem.
Not an issue but while they had their existing extraction plant tied up doing marine oil,and were waiting to get their second plant up and running, they had to freeze blackcurrants,until the plant was ready.
Extraction produced products are very high margin for them.
Basically all the new plant takes them from being commodity producer up to; GMP[good manufacturing practice] certification-Approved to manufacture an " Active pharmaceutical ingredient" under ""Licence to manufacture medicines"" authorised by Medsafe [New Zealand medicines and medical devices safety authority."
So gone from commodity to pharmaceutical,from the lowest to the highest.All the way up the chain the margins increase dramactically.
Iceman.No was not her,although a year or two ago, when she found out I had twice as many as her, there was trouble in the camp,therefore since then I have only been allowed to add to her holding..lol.
Maybe when Sea Dragon goes belly up PAZ can buy their assets.
