Turkey shrimp farm cost calculator: your quotes plus official Turkish tariffs

Short answer: there is no single verified price for a shrimp farm in Türkiye. Add your own quotes for aeration, pumps, pond earthworks and liners, nursery, water treatment, feed and post-larvae, then pick the official EPDK electricity tariff, the 2026 Ministry building unit cost and the 2026 minimum-wage employer cost. The calculator shows total investment, annual operating cost and operating cost per kg of shrimp, in Turkish lira with an optional USD equivalent.

Same method as the Turkish farm cost calculator. Turkish version: Karides çiftliği maliyet hesaplayıcı. Updated 30 October 2026; official figures checked 29 October 2026.

What to collect before you enter figures

  • Dated quotes with the same scope: species (usually Pacific white shrimp), system, harvest target per year and what installation, freight and commissioning include.
  • Installed power and running hours from the aeration, pump and heating quotes — pond aeration usually runs day and night.
  • Your distribution company's subscriber group, so the matching EPDK tariff is used.
  • Post-larvae numbers per cycle (area × stocking density) and the cycles you plan per year; feed tonnes from harvest × expected FCR.

Frequently asked questions

There is no single verified Turkish price. The total depends on the site, system (pond, biofloc or RAS), harvest target and what each quote includes. This calculator adds your own dated quotes for equipment, earthworks, feed and post-larvae to the official Turkish electricity tariff, 2026 building unit costs and minimum wage you choose.

Only three: the EPDK end-user electricity tariffs in force from 4 April 2026 (VAT excluded), the Ministry of Environment, Urbanisation and Climate Change 2026 approximate building unit costs, and the Ministry of Labour 2026 minimum-wage employer cost. There is no official price list for shrimp equipment, feed, post-larvae or land, so those always come from your quotes.

Annual electricity (kW × running hours × tariff), staff (people × monthly employer cost × 12), feed (tonnes × quoted price), post-larvae (number stocked × quoted unit price) and other annual costs are added, then divided by the annual shrimp harvest you enter in kilograms. Depreciation, financing and tax are not included.

Yes, it uses the same method and official references as the Turkish fish farm cost calculator, with shrimp-specific lines such as aeration, pond earthworks and liners, nursery and biosecurity, salinity and temperature control, and post-larvae. A Turkish version sits on the Turkish shrimp farm setup cost page.

Costs & budgeting

How much does a commercial fish farm cost to build?

Budget ranges depend on system type, not on country alone. Pond and cage projects are usually the lowest capital per tonne of annual output, while recirculating (RAS) projects carry the highest equipment and energy share because filtration, oxygenation and backup power are mandatory. Reliable numbers come from a sized bill of quantities — species, target tonnage, water source and grow-out temperature — not from a generic price list. Use the FishMatch calculators to size the project, then submit an RFQ so quotes are priced against the same specification.

What drives the price differences between aquaculture equipment quotes?

Most spread between quotes comes from scope, not from margin: included spares, installation and commissioning, control and automation level, materials (HDPE vs steel vs FRP), certification and testing, delivery terms (EXW vs CIF) and warranty length. Two quotes are only comparable when they answer the same specification. A structured RFQ fixes the scope so differences reflect real engineering choices.

What operating costs should a business plan include?

Feed is normally the largest recurring cost, followed by energy (highest in RAS), labour, fingerlings or post-larvae, health management, water treatment consumables and maintenance. Financing cost and working capital for the first production cycle are frequently underestimated. FishMatch cost tools separate CAPEX from OPEX so the payback assumption is visible rather than implied.
