Godrej Agrovet recently convened a Mega Farmer’s Meet in Malda, highlighting the importance of healthy and balanced nutrition for the success of aquafarmers. As aquaculture transitions from traditional practices to commercial, research-driven farming, the company is committed to supporting farmers with innovative solutions.
Dhrubajyoti Banerjee, CEO of Godrej Agrovet’s Aqua Feed Business, addressed attendees, stating, “The rising demand for freshwater fish in India underscores our commitment to providing farmers with comprehensive solutions to thrive in this evolving market.” He emphasized that feed constitutes 60% of a farmer’s production costs, and high-quality nutrition directly enhances fish and shrimp immunity, weight gain, and feed conversion ratios.
Malda perspective reflects a growing enthusiasm among local aquafarmers eager to implement scientific farming techniques. Godrej’s Aqua Health Care services play a critical role in this transformation, offering guidance on pond management and disease prevention. With a focus on chemical-free feed products, Godrej Agrovet aims to empower farmers in Malda, promoting sustainable growth in the aquaculture sector while ensuring food safety for consumers.
