Our stocks and fingerlings are continuously tested and evaluated by customers and third party laboratories. We are happy to supply these health certificates prior to shipments, which will provide a recent evaluation of our seed health. After a farm has invested considerable money in plant and equipment the value of a reliable and proven seed supply is crucial to success. As Tilapia farmers try to understand, manage and stabilize their production environment, the importance of having known growth data from a fingerling source is necessary to evaluate the system. Aquasafra is the known choice that lowers your risk.
American agriculture is based on vertical integration to achieve low costs.
However, not all industries need to be vertically integrated to achieve low costs. Consider the Taiwan Tilapia industry as a model. Taiwan has high labor costs, very high land costs, a climate no warmer than the southern United States, no advantage in feed or power costs and their markets are located on the other side of the world. The Taiwan Tilapia industry is not vertically integrated. It is organized via producer specialization.
