Cost & Production

Our pilot production indicates that the cost of production per unit of fish and vegetables is reduced in our aquaponic system when compared to conventional farming. This will differ in each place dependant on the costs of local inputs and the value of outputs.

Our business model is based on an analysis of the development of aquaponics as a step in the direction of commercially viable and sustainable food production for a growing global population.
The value that this system delivers is an increased return on the scarce inputs for fish and vegetable production.

Particular focus is given to the production in non-conducive geographical locations. The potential beneficiaries of the SUPA under development are individuals, communities or corporations. We envisage co-operation with NGOs and governmental bodies in the application of these farming systems through the channels existent in all countries for agricultural development as the procedures and systems evolve.

Revenue streams for the business come initially from a single production unit producing vegetables and fish. As the technology is refined, the technology transfer division of the business will expand capability in:-

1) The distribution and set up of modular and customized equipment

2) The sale of know-how and training based on experts on project sites and training in the commercial center, this to both private smallholders and NGOs.

3) Income from exclusive partner/supplier organizations. 
Examples of these include fish hatcheries, seedling providers, feed companies and agricultural equipment manufacturers.

4) Revenue streams from the combined use of alternative technologies for energy e.g. solar powered pumps, water retention and recycling units.
