Marythur Food Exports supplies premium frozen IQF boneless skinless chicken breast from Brazil to foodservice, hospitality, and retail distributors across French Polynesia. Our chicken breast fillets are sourced from SIF-certified, GACC-registered processing plants operated by BRF, SEARA, and COOPAVEL — Brazil's leading poultry producers.
Product Overview
Each boneless skinless chicken breast is individually quick frozen (IQF) to preserve freshness, ensure easy portioning, and minimize drip loss upon thawing. The IQF process locks in quality immediately after deboning and trimming, making these breast fillets ideal for hotel and restaurant kitchens, catering operations, and retail distribution across the islands. Pieces average 170–340g and are packed in convenient 2 kg inner bags within 10 kg or 15 kg master cartons.
Why Brazilian Chicken for French Polynesia?
French Polynesia relies heavily on imported protein to meet the food requirements of its population and thriving tourism and hospitality sector. Brazil — the world's largest chicken exporter — offers consistent supply, competitive pricing, and product specifications suited to the premium lean protein demand of the Pacific Islands market. Brazilian chicken breast fillets provide the quality, food safety, and reliability that French Polynesian importers and hotel chains require.
Quality & Food Safety
All chicken breast fillets undergo rigorous quality control including antibiotic residue testing, microbiological screening (Salmonella, Listeria), and physical inspection at SIF-certified facilities. Processing plants maintain HACCP certification and operate under Brazil's Federal Inspection Service. Every lot is fully traceable from farm to finished product.
Foodservice & Hospitality Applications
IQF chicken breast is a staple ingredient for French Polynesia's tourism-driven foodservice sector. Applications include: hotel buffet preparations, resort restaurant menus, airline catering, cruise ship provisioning, retail supermarket distribution, and institutional food service. The IQF format allows kitchens to thaw only the exact quantity needed, reducing waste and ensuring consistent portion control.
Logistics & Shipping to French Polynesia
Shipments depart from Santos or Paranaguá in 40ft reefer containers at -18°C. Transit to the Port of Papeete (Tahiti) averages 35–42 days, typically via transshipment through a Pacific hub.
