ID# L-3724 Aquaculture (Shrimp And Fish Farm) In Beautiful Area

LISTING #: L-3724

This superb aquaculture business/fish farm is located 30 minutes from Cabrera and has been in full production for the past 14 years.

The land area amounts to 102 acres, of which 62 acres is water including 62 ponds. The main produce is freshwater prawns (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) for the home market but more recently carp and tilapia have been introduced, and the present production is 50% fish and 50% shrimps. The demand for fish is more stable year-round, whereas most of the shrimp produced supplies the tourist industry. The area of Playa Grande is undergoing a huge boom in tourism and development and the market can only grow, along with a demand from overseas as the natural supply is increasingly threatened by pollution, etc.

As well as the 62 ponds, there is significant infrastructure:
– main building of 306 m2, housing handling, packing and storage area; freezer area for ice; and the first hatchery
– wooden storage building
– concrete building providing staff accommodation and feed storage space
– house with four rooms, including office and living accommodation, kitchen, and bathroom.

The farm includes two hatcheries, fully equipped for optimum production, with good systems in place.

The asking price includes two vehicles and should the new owner wish to employ current staff, there is a highly skilled and experienced workforce readily available.

Fish is sold and delivered directly to the hotels and restaurants on the North coast and the customer base is stable and diversified. As the only producer in the area, this farm has a good command of the market but also has earned an excellent reputation.
