Shrimp farming in Bangladesh
started back in 1960's, though commercial farming comes in practice later around 1980.
More than 200K hectare
are dedicated for main two species, P. monodon and M. rosenbergii.
Production per hectare
ranging 180 - 250 kg and 98% farms are extensive, owned by smallholder aqua farmers.

We empower them to establish the ideal aquatic habitat for their aquatic species, ultimately leading to improved yields and successful aquaculture operations.
Water Quality Management
We support smallholder farmers by providing expertise in water quality and management. We conduct assessments and create customized plans for aeration, water exchange, and nutrient control to maintain a healthy aquatic environment. This proactive approach enhances production efficiency and ensures a successful aquaculture journey for farmers.
Feed & Health Management
We also offer smallholder farmers valuable assistance in feed and health management. We work closely with them to develop efficient feeding strategies, helping them make the most of their resources. Our team provides guidance on disease prevention and treatment, ensuring the well-being of their aquatic stock that results in successful venture for them.
Stocking
& Harvest
We extend our support to the smallholder farmers in the crucial stages of stocking. We help determining the optimal stocking densities based on pond size and species being cultivated, maximizing the potential for successful growth. When it comes to harvest, our guidance on the right time and methods to ensure a bountiful and efficient harvest.
