The opportunity
Why this business works now
Fish farming creates a controlled way to supply fresh fish where wild catches and imported products do not fully meet local demand. Different species and production cycles can support regular harvests, while fingerling sales create an additional income stream. The plan explains the production system, water management, feeding, harvesting and routes to market.
4 income lines
The model covers tilapia, catfish, trout and fingerling sales.
Overlapping cycles
Different species can be scheduled to support more regular harvesting and sales.
Flexible systems
Ponds, tanks and recirculating systems allow the model to suit different sites.
