Mission
Deliver premium Canadian seafood with credentials you can trust and a cold chain you can measure. We bridge vessels, CFIA-approved plants, and international buyers through transparent specs, DFO capture documentation/IUU support when required, and practical logistics (YUL→and beyond). Our role is simple: make quality and compliance repeatable so your customers taste the ocean.
Founder
I’m Keven Richard, founder of Araqua Exports. I grew up on Quebec’s North Shore and stepped on deck at 14, fishing scallop, snow crab, and lobster to pay my way to university. Between tides and balance sheets, I learned two truths: the first stakeholder is the fisherman, and trust is the only currency that compounds.
Araqua exists to connect disciplined buyers with the very best ethical Canadian supply—clear specs, clean paperwork, cold chain respected. I’ve worked alongside Indigenous and coastal communities. I build every business program with care, traceability, and respect for the sea.
