1. Commercial Aquaponics
Potentials & benefits
1. Commercial benefits :
• Combined revenue from fish and vegetables
with shared costs.
• Due to vertical growing systems, more yield
achievable in less space up to 6 times than
traditional methods.
• Less overheads in terms of , weeding, tilling,
investments on machineries, irrigation,
fertilizing and many more.
• Naturally available nutrients . Thus zero cost
on fertilizers.
• Not limited to geographical , seasonal and
soil conditions.
• Modular, easily scalable to any extent.
2. Environmental, social benefits :
• Water saving up to 98 % , saves land.
• Completely sustainable, organic, healthy food production with out any chemical fertilizers or
pesticides.
• Zero carbon foot print. A step towards achieving good food security, employment for small
land holders, can generate carbon credits if done properly in large scale.

6. Market plans.
1. Diversification: By establishing different supply chains for vegetables
ensures a continues market requirement.
• Wholesale supply to retailers who operate through chain of retail
outlets, online portals etc,.
• To food packaging and processing companies as raw material.
• To exporters as bulk supply.
• By creating own brand, establish own market, adaptation of new
concepts of weekly subscriptions and “harvest your own food” ideas.
• By having both edible and ornamental fish production in a systematic
manner, can cater to the requirement of both local and global market.
2. Contract production: By producing for pre confirmed requirement and
fixed price band, there will be a sustained source of revenue as well as a
controlled production pattern with “no wastage-no shortage”
guarantee.
3. Multi region adaptability : Since Aquaponics platforms have no limitation
in region and soil conditions, the set ups can be in closer proximity to
the market and the scale can exactly depend on the demand.

7. The produce….
Fresh Lettuce, Mint, Wheat grass & cabbage in less than Half the
time..

8. Fresh Basil, Tomatoes and Flowers too .. No additional fertilizer..
The produce….

9. In Future….
• Second Stage milestone: expansion to 4 acres.
• Establish full fledged training centers for prospective
buyers/farmers.
• Commercial setups in various farming locations with
proper training to handle the system
•Develop a guaranteed buy back and supply chain which
will generate more prospects.
• Create own brand and retail chain both local and global
market.
