SHRIMP FARMING FISH FARMING

During the ‘80s and ‘90s, the shrimp industry in Colombia reached maximum growth, positioning the country as a recognized producer and exporter. With respect to fish farming, Colombia has recorded growth in

cultivations are concentrated mostly on the production of Tilapia, Trout and Cachama.

*Shrimp production in Colombia reached 8,500 tons in 2013, with the departments of

Fish farming production in the country has shown continuous growth over the last 10 years, rising from 21.6 thousand tons in 2000 to 84.4 thousand tons in 2013, which represents an increase of 291%. (Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development).

SHRIMP INDUSTRY

public-private partnership created by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Tourism, promotes the productivity and competitiveness of sectors with a high export potential, by means of a more e�ective coordination between public and private sectors. Colombia has comparative and competitive advantages in shrimp farming.

Coast is between 27 °C and 32 °C, which is optimal for white shrimp farming as it inhibits replication of the White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV). On the other hand, although the Pacific Coast has lower temperatures, it has seeds and management systems developed by research and development centers that reduce the incidence of the virus.

Shrimp farming in Colombia is performed via a mix of intensive and extensive productive models, where pools were designed based on an extensive production system that replicates the Ecuadorean model, and cultivation is based on a high-density production system.

In Colombia, three main species are cultivated: Tilapia (red and niloticus), Cachama and Trout, which account for about 96% of national fish-farming production.

Cachama is cultivated mainly in the departments of Antioquia, Meta, Santander, Cordoba, Tolima, Caqueta and Valle del Cauca.

infrastructure in disuse for shrimp farmingin the coastal waters of the Caribbean and Pacific, which have previously been proven to be productive and profitable.

Geographic position: the absence of hurricanes and typhoons. Proximity to largeconsumption centers.

Lack of seasons: the climate and temperature of the waters has low variability,allowing year-round production.

International recognition, thanks to a wide range of experience in the external market, a high quality product, trained and expert personnel, and a genetic improvement program.

Available areas: in the regions considered for cultivation, it is calculated that around150,000 hectares are available for this activity.

Research centers: in Colombia there are several globally recognized research centers, such as the Colombian Aquaculture Research Center (CENIACUA), which has generated scientific and technological knowledge for the development of the shrimp industry.

WHY INVEST IN THEAQUACULTURE SECTOR IN COLOMBIA?

Mariculture projects mainly on the Caribbean coast, where the climatic conditions,water temperature, etc., are suitable for his kind of initiative and where, due to its location, Colombia has a comparative advantage in accessing markets such as the United States.

Strategic alliances with local fish farmers that need to increase their production and make expansions or assemble processing plants in order to cover domestic demand and generate surpluses for export, both for fresh and for processed products.
