Egypt has a population of 80 million people with a long history of aquaculture using water from the Nile River. However, the recent report of, "Macfadyen, G. et al. 2011. Value-chain analysis of Egyptian aquaculture. Project report 2011- 54. The WorldFish Center. Penang, Malaysia. 84 pp.", suggests that the future looks bleak for Egypt's Aquaculture Industry.
FST believes they have the answer for all the problematic issues faced by Egypt's Aquaculture Industry which is the eleventh largest in the world. Egyptians Aquaculture industry has specific issues with poor water quality which leads to low stocking rates. This coupled with the high cost of imported feeds, leaves farmers hard press to make ends meet.
The FST Aquafarm systems address all these issues and puts the Egyptian farmer in a powerful position of independence from outside suppliers. In fact, founders through their marketing consultant have recently discussed this disruptive green technology with the Egyptian authorities having caught their interest when filling out the fish farming permits that did NOT require any DISCHARGE from the fish tanks.
