From the Mekong
to the Nile.

NileX is opening a cold, certified supply line for seafood — bringing premium and everyday fish from Vietnam's Mekong Delta to hotels, restaurants and shops in Ethiopia. A country with no coast, supplied from one of the world's great fishing regions.

01 · Why we exist

Two rivers, two civilizations, one supply line.

Vietnam's Mekong Delta is one of the world's richest sources of fish. Ethiopia has a growing appetite for seafood but no coast of its own. NileX connects the two — we import it, supply it, and sell it — so a single line will move fish from the Delta to kitchens in Addis Ababa, kept cold the whole way.

The gap

Ethiopia has no coast, and its lakes produce less fish each year. Yet demand for good, consistent fish keeps growing.

The source

The Mekong Delta: huge, year-round, export-grade fish farming, with the certificates international buyers already trust.

The bridge

A cold, documented route that NileX is building end to end — turning a long distance into fish a chef can rely on.

02 · The cold chain

Seven thousand kilometres, never above −18°C.

Every shipment will be flash-frozen right at the source and its temperature checked at every step. The cold never breaks, and the paperwork proves it.
