Dr. Sanjeev Balyan congratulated the team for their achievement and welcomed the multinational as they bring the global expertise and research for Indian aquaculture development.\u00a0 He also sent the message to the Indian aquaculture industry about the requirement of technology usage for improving productivity and efficiency and promoting domestic consumption to continue our leading position globally.<\/p>\n

Mr. Erkelmentioned that just last year they had celebrated 75 years of warm diplomatic relations and that business from the Netherlands finds its way to India.When Nutreco was nominated last year as the most innovative company in animal nutrition by World Finance, they had stated that they want to help farmer\u2019s produce more, strengthen animal\u2019 health and resilience while also looking at sustainable practices.\u00a0 He congratulated Skretting India for the support to Make in India initiative.<\/p>\n

Spread over an area of 20,000 sq mt and built with an investment of EUR 18.5 million (Rs. 165 crore approximately), the facility will cater to both shrimp and fish cultures. The shrimp cultures will include white tiger and black tiger, while fish cultures will include Indian major carps, and high-value fish like snakehead, seabass, etc.<\/p>\n

It will produce both extruded\/floating and pelleted\/sinking feed as per the requirement of the species and customers. There is also adequate land and infrastructure available to increase production capacity in the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to launch our state-of-the-art production facility at Mangrol in Surat. We have been meeting the needs of shrimp hatcheries, nurseries and farmers since 2018 in India, and supporting customers across feed-farm-health with our high-quality feed and services. The new facility will enable us to contribute to the prestigious Atmanirbhar Bharat \u2013 Make in India initiative, while simultaneously improving efficiencies for a closer connect with our customers.
