We manufacture our cages and feeds. We also implemented breeding system for tilapia. This has resulted to 70% reduction in CAPEX and OPEX.
Your business model
Nile Tilapia is cultured in floating 6*6*3 (LxWxH) meter floating cages in Lake Victoria. Stocking density is 250 fish per cubic meter. Estimated annual production at peak is 10 metric tonne per cage. One tonne of fish is sold at KES 500,000. Estimated annual production by end of this year is 120,000MT
A few words about your competitors
Current national demand of fish in Kenya is high especially around the lake region while the supply is increasingly becoming constrained due to dwindling fish stocks in their natural environments across the country as a result of overfishing and environmental pollution. This has created a huge gap hence the need to engage in a new environmentally safe and sustainable source of fishing activity; making cage fishing an attractive opportunity.
