Biofloc Fish Farming Subsidy Insights

This document summarizes the state of biofloc fish farming in India in 2019 and forecasts expectations for 2020. It notes that 15-20,000 new biofloc tanks were set up in 2019, but fish production was still developing and many farmers suffered losses. It anticipates continued growth in 2020 with larger commercial farms. Key needs are more effective training, government support through subsidies and loans, and innovation to reduce costs and improve management. The objective in 2020 is to make biofloc farming simpler, more affordable and self-sufficient through standard operating procedures, learning centers, and remote monitoring technologies.
