Regal Springs and the Honduras Government work together for sustainable growth

The Honduran division of the tilapia farming giant Regal Springs, known as Aquafinca St. Peter Fish, has signed a collaboration agreement with the Government of the Republic of Honduras, through the National Electricity Company (ENEE), to strengthen the hydroelectric dam of Lake El Cajón.

Through new initiatives and technologies, Regal Springs is committed to safeguarding the natural environment and promoting responsible aquaculture practices and will continue to protect over 4,000 hectares of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems.

Regarding this initiative, the Country Director of Regal Springs Honduras, Sandro Rezzi, said: "We appreciate the Government of Honduras and the ENEE support in recognizing the valuable contribution of Regal Springs's positive social and environmental impact for the country. For over three decades, we have managed to transform lives and contribute to the development of the communities of San Francisco de Yojoa and the municipalities surrounding the El Cajón Hydroelectric Dam."

Additionally, CEO Alois Hofbauer confirmed: "This agreement is a significant milestone in building a more prosperous and sustainable Honduras. It is an important step where job creation, the development of communities, and the preservation of the environment all go hand in hand to the benefit of future generations."
