Bharat Luxindo Agrifeeds Pvt.Ltd. inaugurated its new factory in Chittavaram, Narasapur on January 11. This is the company’s 18th year in the aquaculture industry in Andhra Pradesh, India. Bharat Luxindo is instrumental in the use of pelleted feeds in rohu farming.
“This new factory is a testimony of the success we have achieved in our quest to make an impact in the industry with new initiatives and using best practices in aquaculture,” said Yeo Keng Joon, Chairman. He thanked all stakeholders for their loyal support over the years; dealers, farmers, suppliers, employees and all their families.
“The Covid-19 pandemic has caused us enormous hardship and restricted our travel to India but our management team have put up this new factory, largely on their own without our directors being present in India for the last twelve months. This is indeed an achievement. Our dealers and customers have great confidence in the capability of our management team.”
Yeo also said that the marketing team, led by Kameswara Rao has started the demonstration FFGG (Farm of Future Grow with GROFISH) Farm in Korukollu in March 2020 using the pelleted Grofish (100%) and broadcasting feeds instead of using the feed bags tied to poles.
“We have excellent results. This is part of our initiative to introduce modern aquaculture practices in Rohu farming in Andhra Pradesh that will increase the profitability of our customers and to reduce pollution and wastage caused by the use of DORB in the fish ponds. We have also initiated another demonstration farm nearby in Palakol where we have used our pelleted Grofish for Rupchand (Pacu) fish. We have since started a third FFGG farm in Eluru last month growing rohu.”
Bharat Luxindo plans to introduce FFGG farm in each major rohu growing area – to introduce and convince all traditional farmers to use its rohu seedstock, Grofish Pellets and broadcasting the feeds.
“There is a big potential for the use of pelleted fish feeds in Andhra Pradesh and this new factory is testimony to our confidence in the growth of our products in the years to come.” www.bharatluxindo.com
