African octopus is the most in-demand octopus in the world. Japanese market is an eager buyer of frozen on-board and frozen at-land high quality octopus. Moroccan and Mauritanian octopus is dominant in the Japanese market, but buyers usually face the frequent price volatility. While octopus is in its shortage supply of materials worldwide and high price situation, Japanese buyers have to go looking for new sources to fill the gap.

Our Japanese client wanted to find a solution for their famous fried octopus ball called “Takoyaki” which required octopus cooked and cut as its main ingredient. They wanted a soft and white octopus, comparable with the quality of African octopus, with a more stable pricing. LP Foods proposed Mexican octopus and set up the whole supply chain for the client. The process starts from the sourcing of raw materials in Mexico, to the finished products from high technology cooking and cutting production line in Vietnam.
