The aquaculture sector in Colombia has seen significant growth over the past decade. Shrimp farming production peaked in the 1980s-1990s but has declined since, while fish farming has increased substantially from 21,600 tons in 2000 to 84,400 tons in 2013. Tilapia, trout and cachama make up the majority of fish farming. The country has favorable conditions for aquaculture like optimal water temperatures, available land and infrastructure, and research centers. There are opportunities for investment in shrimp and fish farming, as well as processing plants, to increase production and exports. The main government entities that support the sector are listed.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

Coast is between 27 °C and 32 °C, which is optimal
for white shrimp farming as it inhibits replication
of the White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV). On the
other hand, although the Pacific Coast has lower
temperatures, it has seeds and management systems
developed by research and development centers that
reduce the incidence of the virus.
Shrimp farming in Colombia is performed via a
mix of intensive and extensive productive models,
where pools were designed based on an extensive
production system that replicates the Ecuadorean
model, and cultivation is based on a high-density
production system.
4. In Colombia, three main species are cultivated:
Tilapia (red and niloticus), Cachama and Trout,
which account for about 96% of national fish-
farming production.
Cachama is cultivated mainly in the departments
of Antioquia, Meta, Santander, Cordoba, Tolima,
Caqueta and Valle del Cauca.

Pacific, which have previously been proven
to be productive and profitable.
Geographic position: the absence of hurricanes and typhoons. Proximity to large
consumption centers.
Lack of seasons: the climate and temperature of the waters has low variability,
allowing year-round production.
International recognition, thanks to a wide range of experience in the external
market, a high quality product, trained and expert personnel, and a genetic
improvement program.
Available areas: in the regions considered for cultivation, it is calculated that around
150,000 hectares are available for this activity.
Research centers: in Colombia there are several globally recognized research
centers, such as the Colombian Aquaculture Research Center (CENIACUA), which
has generated scientific and technological knowledge for the development of the
shrimp industry.
