"It’s not only about the fish, it’s about the people," is the motto for Regal Springs. That motto trickles down from top management to employees in Honduras, Mexico and Indonesia. More than 5000 employees in these countries work for Regal Springs either farming, processing or packing tilapia. According to reporters who recently visited the facility in Honduras, Regal Springs offer more incentives to employees and the community than almost any other company in South America. As part of Regal’s Sustainability practices, ten percent of Regal’s production capacity is given to local communities.
Villages in these third world countries have seen their infrastructure strengthened and attribute it to Regal Springs. A recent agricultural reporter visiting Regal Springs’ aquafarms had one concern: what would the community do if Regal were to ever leave?
