President  Jennifer Geerlings-Simons chooses to keep strategic state companies. The shrimp company is operating at a loss but is located on a huge piece of land along the Suriname River in  Paramaribo. The buildings and production facilities that are also located on the premises could prove valuable for public purposes which is why the current administration does not want to sell this prime real estate. 

Vice President Gregory Rusland emphasized that the government will not let go of properties that are of strategic importance. In October 2024 the then minister of Agriculture Stock Breeding and Fisheries told workers of Sail that there were plans to sell the company including all of the facilities. The current administration has implemented a policy that deviates from those plans and which focuses on keeping and possibly using the land and buildings again.
