Taking a look at their website, 2 things jump out to me:
> A lean operation, leveraging Africa's strength in labour costs
Which is of course a euphemism for "leveraging the low wages of African laborers". And:
> We purchase today from out of work fisherman
So it seems that this operation can exist because their costs are extremely low due to a poor local economy and a surplus of cheap labor. This does not translate to success in an industrialized first-world country.
