Mr. Rushan Fernando first started out in this industry with the supply of fresh Tuna fish for exporters which were sourced by his own fishing vessels as well as purchased from third-party vessels. P.R.F. Seafood (Private) Limited was incorporated as a family-owned business in 2013 and expanded operations to include the supply of bait for multi-day Tuna fishing vessels. Our company has been built on the traditional knowledge and experience gained by many generations. Being part of the fishing community in our locality we strive to ensure a sustainable fishing industry in Sri Lanka.
Building on our firm foundations we have expanded our business to produce canned fish for the local market. P.R.F. Seafood is committed to providing the best quality products at all times for customer’s maximum satisfaction!
