The company operates several fishing vessels and processing plants in Madagascar and exports its products to international markets.

During the 1990s, Unima launched Aqualma, 1,800 acres of aquaculture basins, and developed domesticated specific pathogen-free (SPF) broodstock of black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon).

[2] Since 2006, Unima has been involved with UNICEF’s WASH program,[2] and working with WWF in Madagascar to implement a Biodiversity Action Plan since 2007.

[9][10] Besides, Unima pioneered carbon accounting, as one of the first companies in the world to apply the method developed by Jean-Marc Jancovici in the early 2000s.

This project was supported by the French Development Agency and the Malagasy Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries.
