How accurate is the FishMatch Group Aquaculture Project Budget Planner?

The planner produces a directional CAPEX estimate based on your inputs and standard benchmarks for shrimp, fish, RAS and hatchery projects. Final pricing is confirmed after suppliers respond to your RFQ.

Which project types does the aquaculture cost calculator support?

Shrimp farms, fish farms (pond and cage), RAS facilities and hatcheries. Each type uses tailored equipment categories and contingency benchmarks.

Can I model financing costs and payback in the budget planner?

Yes. The scenario planner lets you set a financing rate, tenor and contingency. It computes an estimated annual debt service and USD-equivalent total investment.

Can I export the aquaculture project budget as a PDF or Excel?

Yes. You can export the full Project Budget Report, Investment Summary, Executive Summary and Cost Breakdown as PDF, DOCX or XLSX in one click.

Is the planner really free?

Yes — the planner is 100% free for buyers. FishMatch Group is an independent procurement platform; suppliers pay a success-based fee only when they win.
