Godrej Agrovet recently held a Mega Farmer’s Meet in South Dinajpur, emphasizing the crucial role of balanced nutrition in the prosperity of aquafarmers. As aquaculture evolves from traditional practices to research-driven commercial farming, the company showcased its state-of-the-art aqua feed manufacturing plants, equipped with quality assurance labs and an R&D center.
Dhrubajyoti Banerjee, CEO of Godrej Agrovet’s Aqua Feed Business, stated, “The demand for freshwater fish is surging in India. Our aim is to provide farmers with comprehensive solutions that align with this growth.” He highlighted that with 60% of a farmer’s production cost reliant on feed, their quality offerings lead to better fish and shrimp immunity, weight gain, and improved feed conversion ratios.
In Dinajpur, local aquafarmers are keen to adopt these scientific farming methods, seeing a pathway to enhance their productivity and profitability. The Aqua Health Care services provided by Godrej play a vital role in this transition, helping farmers manage pond conditions and prevent diseases effectively. With a commitment to chemical-free feed products, Godrej Agrovet is dedicated to fostering sustainable growth in the region’s aquaculture sector.
