"At the moment, we concentrate on growing Pacific oysters from juvenile stage (around 30 grams) up to market size, which is between 40g and 150g," Koos Blaauw, co-owner and managing director of Tetelestai told Xinhua in a recent interview.Īccording to Blaauw, the markets for fresh live oysters are mainly Chinese destinations including Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanghai as well as Hong Kong. "I have to ensure the oysters are worked on time," said 36-year-old Katjingisiua, inspecting the farm produce.Įstablished in 2006, to-date, Tetelestai specializes in growing Pacific oysters, trading in both fresh and frozen products. The oysters are predestined for China amongst other markets. At Tetelestai, an oyster producing company, supervisor Rino Katjingisiua was monitoring the growth and quality of Pacific oysters.
