What to include in your RFQ
Complete briefs get costed packages in one round. Missing parameters are the main reason quotes come back as ranges.
- Site area and layout
- Pond hectares or tank m³ drive aerator count, liner area and pump sizing — the three biggest line items.
- Production system
- Semi-intensive lined pond, biofloc, or RAS nursery + pond grow-out have completely different equipment sets.
- Target output (t/yr) and cycles
- Sets stocking density, aeration kW/ha and feed volumes suppliers must design around.
- Water source and salinity
- Brackish estuarine vs. borehole vs. seawater intake changes pumps, filtration and materials.
- Power availability
- Grid reliability in the region decides generator sizing and whether solar hybrid aeration is quoted.
- Post-larvae plan
- Imported vs. locally hatched PL determines whether a nursery and biosecurity package is included.
- Delivery terms and port
- FOB, CIF Tema, or DDP to site — each moves 8–18% of landed cost between the supplier and you.
- Installation and training scope
- Supervision-only vs. full turnkey commissioning is often the largest quote-to-quote difference.
- Budget range and financing need
- Lets suppliers scope to your envelope and lets us flag projects for third-party financing evaluation.

Local clearance & operating notes
- Ghana Revenue Authority clearance at Tema is faster with HS codes, proforma invoice and certificate of origin issued before shipment.
- Fisheries Commission approvals apply to hatchery, PL import and pond construction — start them in parallel with equipment procurement.
- Grid interruptions in coastal farming zones make emergency aeration backup (generator or battery) a standard line item, not an option.
- Most suppliers quote USD; 30% deposit / 70% against documents is the norm, with L/C at sight available for orders above roughly USD 150,000.

Supplier selection criteria
How should a buyer compare aquaculture suppliers?
Compare on evidence, not on presentation: delivered projects at a similar scale and climate, engineering support during design, lead time commitments, spare-part and service availability in your region, certification and testing documentation, payment and warranty terms, and willingness to quote against your specification rather than substituting a catalogue package.
What are the warning signs in a supplier quotation?
Treat these as review triggers: no itemised scope, guaranteed biological or financial performance, no named delivery terms or lead time, no spare-parts or service statement, unclear responsibility for installation and commissioning, and equipment sizing that does not reference your water temperature, oxygen demand or biomass targets.
How does FishMatch handle supplier selection?
FishMatch is an independent sourcing layer, not a manufacturer or reseller. Requirements are structured into a single technical RFQ and routed to relevant producers; buyers receive comparable offers without supplier identities being exposed before they choose to proceed. Selection stays with the buyer — FishMatch standardises the comparison basis.
