“The Highest Growth Source of Animal Protein in the World” Aquaculture “The Highest Growth Source of Animal Protein in the World”

Accounts for about Half of the World’s Seafood. Aquaculture Accounts for about Half of the World’s Seafood.

AQUACULTURE The Sector will grow Exponentially given the dwindling supply of Wild Fish and the Mushrooming demand in the developing world for Animal protein.

AQUACULTURE The Aquaculture Market is worth about $ 120 Billion per year at the farm level, producing 60 million tons of Seafood.

AQUACULTURE At Current Consumption Rates, an additional 23 Million Tons of Seafood per year will be needed worldwide by 2030. FAO

AQUACULTURE Asian Production Dominating New Markets are Developing Production is Smaller-scale and more fragmented than in other protein sectors Great Opportunity exists for vertical integration or consolidation in the sector

AQUACULTURE Clean Technology Business are Developing Solutions to some of the Sector’s notorious Issues, including Environmental Impacts, inefficient Feed Ratios and Contamination.

Aquaculture Potential to Provide Employment and livelihoods for 16.5 million People Worldwide. “Employment in this Sector has been Growing 5% per year, compared to 1% per year in the wild capture fisheries.”

SRI LANKAN AQUACULTURE PRODUCES 70,000 MT PER YEAR

Shrimp Aquaculture SRI LANKAN SHRIMP AQUACULTURE PRODUCES 4,500 MT PER YEAR

Shrimp Aquaculture Production by World Region 1991 - 2013 2012 -2013 Projected annual growth 10.3% 2005 -2009 Annual growth rate 7.0%

Shrimp Aquaculture SHRIMP AQUACULTURE Potential in North & East 10,000 MT per year

Shrimp Aquaculture EXPECTED GROWTH IN 5 YEARS 200% 15,000 MT PER YEAR

GROWTH Will Reflect All the Value Chain Segments of the Industry Shrimp Aquaculture GROWTH Will Reflect All the Value Chain Segments of the Industry

AQUACULTURE VALUE CHAIN SEGMENTS HATCHERIES Produce Larval, Juvenile Fish and Shellfish for Transfer to Aquaculture Facilities where they are Grown to harvest Size EQUIPMENTS AND TECHNILOGIES These are Tanks, Ponds, Nets, Pumps, Aerators and Other Equipment and the Technologies for the Management of Aquaculture Units FEED AND NUTRITION Production and Supply of Feeds and Feed Additives for the Aquaculture Sector GROW OUT FACILIITIES Fish and Shellfish are Raised with Sustainable Practices PROCESSING AND DISTRIBUTION Businesses can also create value in Aquaculture through the processing and /or distribution of Seafood Products

Strategic Areas for Consideration and Improvements BEYOND 2015

1. AQUATIC ANIMAL HEALTH MANAGEMENT Grading of Shrimp Farms and Hatcheries Improving and Implementing BMP’s for different grades of Farms and Hatcheries. Improving the BMP Monitoring System Development of Brood Stock Holding facilities & Nauplii Centers Enhancing Post Larvae (Shrimp Fry) Quality

2. RESEARCH AND TECHNOLGY DEVELOPEMENT Coordinate the Research needs of the Industry with NARA and other relevant Institutions Bring the New Technological Development to the Aquaculture Industry and Communicate with Industry Stakeholders Educational and Training Programs to Farmers and Hatchery Operators

3. ALTERNATE AQUACULTURE SYSTEMS. Introduce Alternate Aquaculture System to Rotate Crops between in a Shrimp Farming Cycle. Facilitate Continues Supply of Seeds of the Alternate Aquaculture Species Organize and Explore Market Opportunities for the Alternate Aquaculture Productions

4. SUSTAINABILITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL COMPATIBILTY PROGRAMS Promote Continues Dredging of Dutch Canals and Lagoons in NWP. Improve the Supply and Drainage Canals for certain Farming Clusters Provide Common Supply Canals, Drainage Canals and Sedimentation Facilities to needed Clusters Continues Mangrove Replanting/ Cost Conservation Programs

5. INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS Electricity supply to All Shrimp Farms in two years. Road Access to all the Farms Convert Existing Disease Prone Farming Areas in to CLUSTER FARMS with common facilities.

6. INFORMATION SYSTEM ON WATER QULAITY, PRODUCTION & DISEASES Improving Web and SMS Based Information Sharing System. Reduce the Knowledge Gap thorough Technical Support Services & Crop Clinics Alert System on Water Quality Changes, Disease Outbreaks, Cyclone, Floods etc.

7. IMPROVING QUALITY OF INPUT SUPPLIES AND SERVICES Improve the Quality of the Shrimp Feeds and other Items Imported to the Industry Monitor and Control the Shrimp Farms and Hatchery Chemical and Medicine supplies Improve the Technical Advisory Services and Laboratory Service Standards

8. PRODUCT QUALITY AND SAFTEY PROGRAMS Provide information on Product Quality and Safety Standards to the Stakeholders Prevent the Use of Banned Chemicals and Antibiotics in the Industry. Promote Certification Programs to the Farms and Hatcheries I

9. MARKETING AND INTERNATIONAL TRADE PROGRAMS Organize Marketing Programs for the Aquaculture Produce Internationally with SLEDB Participation. Promote Local Marketing of Aquaculture Products through Fisheries Corporation & Others Take Initiative to Brand the Aquaculture Products. E.g.: SRI LANKAN SHRIMPS

10. FINANCIAL SUPPORT AND INCENTIVES Organize an Export Incentive Scheme for the Aquaculture Producers who supply the goods to Exporters with the help of SLEDB. Arrange Low Cost Finance for the Working Capital Requirement of the Industry Stake holders (like Low Interest Agriculture Loans) Introduce Crop Insurance Schemes for Aquaculture. Introduce Pension scheme for the Aquaculture Farmers.

Welcomes You all with us BEYOND 2015
