Persistence
Determination
Focus
Learning/ Unlearning
Believing in you
Keeping your Faith
Knowing what you are doing and where you are going....
Knowing what you want and how you want it Done....
With God, NOTHIING is IMPOSSIBLE.
We have only done a 30*18m pond, 540sqm size which can only take 2700-4320 fingerings thus a stock density of 5-8 fingerings/sqm.
We are soon doing a 50*20m pond ( 1000sqm) and will take 5000-8000 fingerings.
Should we do the maths??
Let’s assume:
Species: Tilapia
System: Semi-intensive
Stocking density: 8 fingerlings/m² → 8,000 fingerlings
Production cycle: 6 months (2 cycles per year)
Survival rate: 85%
Harvest weight: 400g per fish
Market price: $2.50/kg
Production per cycle: 8,000 × 85% × 0.4 kg = 2,720 kg
Annual production: 2,720 × 2 = 5,440 kg
Annual revenue: 5,440 kg × $2.50 = $13,600
What if you have 6 ponds of 50*20 sizes??
Annual revenue would be $13,600*6= $81,600
Convert that into MWK would be close to
MWK 63Million.
Minus costs? Would you spend half? Noooooo
Infact even if you do in the first year, wouldn't be harmful.
