Aquaculture in Emerging Markets Dr. Arjen Roem Frankfurt - November 11th 2014 Trouw Nutrition Hifeed
Outline Skretting global leader Aquaculture trends Emerging markets - Vietnam - Egypt - Nigeria Seafood image Key success factors 2
Skretting a global aquafeed company 3,400 employees 1.8 million tons of feed Production in 16 countries Sales in more than 40 countries Feed to more than 60 species 1 global R&D centre and 4 trial units 3
Skretting Aquaculture Research Centre 24 Nationalities 100 employees of which 75% have higher degrees Specialists in fish nutrition, health & feed technology Collaborations with over 40 research institutions worldwide 4
Feed for more than 60 species Atlantic Salmon Turbot Largemouth Bass Mahi Mahi European Sea Bass Snakehead Trout Tilapia Giant Tiger Shrimp Yellowtail Kingfish Pangasius Red Sea Bream Barramundi Japanese Amberjack North Atlantic Tuna Vannamei Shrimp 5
Trends in favour of Aquaculture Population growth and urbanization From fisheries to aquaculture Fish consumption up Shift to warm-water aquaculture Intensification 6
Can we feed the world? Food Demand = Population*Diet Beef: 61kg/kg* Pork: 34kg/kg Fish: 13kg/kg* Asian Western Mediterranean *HLPE Report 7, FAO (2014)

Intensification In most parts of world carp is farmed in extensive pond systems, but not in Iraq! High value carp (5 USD/kg) Stocking 3000-4000 fish/ha Formulated feed Demand feeders Water pumping Aeration 50 grams to 2 kg in 5-6 months Harvest 6000 kg/ha
Emerging markets Countries that have economic activity stronger than a least developed country but generally weaker than a developed country. Emerging aquaculture markets in India, SE Asia, South America, Egypt, Nigeria Shrimp, tilapia, catfish Newly industrialised countries Developing countries 11
Vietnam facts Marine potential 84 million people 330,000 km 2 Pangasius catfish in the Mekong Delta (freshwater) Shrimp mainly concentrated in South (brackish water) Export driven Other species under development Cobia Pangasius Shrimp 12
Pangasius aquaculture Originally two species were cultured: - Tra Pangasius hypophthalmus - Basa Pangasius bocourti Now more than 97% of production is Tra. Tra is more easy to breed, requires less oxygen, cheaper feed and reaches market size (1.5 kg) in 6-7 months compared to Basa in 9-10 months. Basa name persists in the market. Original focus: lowest cost-producer www.fishbase.org 13

Competitive Advantages of Nigeria Water availability Climate 170 million people Domestic market Catfish is part of Nigerian culture Nigeria can take Global leadership in African catfish production
Seafood is healthy Lean protein Omega-3/Omega-6 fatty acids Vitamin A, D & B 12 Iodine, selenium Healthy image requires branding approach 24
Key success factors Aquaculture Market-driven production focus both on domestic and export markets Fish processing for Fresh, Ready-to-eat Build on healthy image of fish co-existence with poultry Use innovation for intensification - Extruded feeds - Water re-use - Nutrient re-use (bioflocs technology) 25
