Commercial Feed Consumption & Budget Calculator

Feed is the single largest cost line in commercial aquaculture — 40–65% of OPEX. This sizes annual feed tonnage from harvest target, FCR and mortality, then converts to $/year and $/kg fish so you can benchmark suppliers and pre-negotiate volume contracts.

Scenario modelling

Flexes mortality, FCR and feed price — the three feed-line drivers.

Turn this result into 1–3 supplier quotes

Send this spec privately to selected manufacturers.

FishMatch Group reaches out on your behalf — your name, project and location stay confidential until you accept a quote. No sign-up, no listing fees, buyers never pay.

How supplier matching works

  1. 1. Private brief. Your spec goes only to manufacturers we have selected for the right category, capacity and export experience.
  2. 2. Confidential outreach. Suppliers see the technical spec — not your name, company or exact location — until you accept a quote.
  3. 3. 1–3 comparable quotes. Typically within 5–10 business days, aligned on scope so you can compare like-for-like.
  4. 4. Financing intro (optional). If needed, we introduce your project to a financing partner. No fee to buyers.

Notes

  • Volume feed contracts (500+ t/yr) typically cut $/kg 8–15% vs spot.
  • Feed represents 40–65% of OPEX — a 0.1 FCR improvement often equals the return of a whole solar PV project.
  • Feed this into the Commercial ROI OPEX line and RFQ package.
