Where Possibilities Unfold

We are redefining India’s seafood industry by combining aquaculture expertise with next-generation technology.
Within three years, we have emerged as one of the fastest growing seafood exporters in the country.

Our Story

Highland Agro was born with a vision to transform Odisha’s aquaculture and agro sector into a global success story. Beginning as a small partnership firm under Highland Group in 2018, we evolved into Highland Agro Food Private Limited on 18 May 2022, marking the start of a new era in sustainable shrimp processing and exports.

From our state-of-the-art facility in Balasore, spread across 25 acres, we connect local farmers to global markets, ensuring fair pricing, world‑class processing and uncompromised quality. Today, our products travel from Balasore to customers across Asia, Europe, North America and the Middle East  putting Odisha firmly on the global food map.

From every farmer partnership to every export consignment is where possibilities unfold for people and progress.

Vision

To pioneer a sustainable and transformative seafood and agri-food ecosystem that uplifts farmers, empowers communities, and protects the planet. By blending innovation, responsibility, and care, we aspire to redefine global supply chains, deliver uncompromising quality, and create shared prosperity for our customers, partners, and future generations. We believe innovation and responsibility work best when possibilities unfold together.

Mission

Our mission is to create enduring value by placing people, planet, and innovation at the core of our business. We strive to: empower farmers through fair partnerships and financial inclusion, champion eco-friendly and traceable practices across our supply chains, and invest in CSR initiatives that nurture education, health, and community well-being. We believe innovation and responsibility work best when possibilities unfold together.

Our Edge

We believe that business can grow without compromising the
environment or the communities we serve. Our ethics are rooted in Four Principles:-

End-to-End Integration

We operate a 12-acre plant in Balasore with a processing capacity of 100 MT per day and cold storage of over 10,000 MT. Our integrated farmer network, supported with seeds, feed, credit, and technical know-how, ensures steady supply and higher incomes for smallholders.

Digital Traceability

Every shrimp is tracked from farm to fork. With IoT sensors and AI analytics, we monitor water quality, feed use, and animal health in real time. Clients can access digital dashboards that provide live updates on their shipments.

Sustainability in Practice

Clean energy from our 890 KW solar plant powers daily operations. A biogas unit converts 300 kg of bio-waste into cooking gas and organic fertilizer every day. Our in-house HSD plant produces diesel more cost-effectively, reducing dependency on market fuel.

Strategic Partnerships

From Baby Marine International’s heritage in Kerala to LuLu International’s retail networks in the Middle East, our collaborations strengthen our global reach and speed-to-market.
