Florida-based supplier shifts back to tilapia after move into trout falls short

Last year, PezCo executives decided to switch the company's focus to trout after finding the low-margin tilapia market saturated.

Pezco produces in the region of 400 metric tons a year of its own trout in Colombia, with contributions from cooperatives lifting the total to around 1,000 metric tons. This is supplemented by production in Turkey and from its US partner Riverence.
