The red talapia

We have come a long way. It's been such a long time since I last updated.

Since last year we have diverse our business to farming red talapia. When it was due to harvest last december, the price of red talapia has since dropped from RM10 per kg to RM7per kg (bear in mind this is ex-farm price). By early this year, the price went further down to RM6.20 perkg. And it stayed the same even when during chinese new year. It is really frustrating as there was no way we could be making any profit with that kind of price. The problem is that we have use our best techniques, feeding the best feed and yet we have to be selling our fishes to the middle man with them mixing our fish up with those eating thrash, chicken intestines and what not. It's very very frustrating. It's been a tough few months and nevertheless we had to let go off our first batch of red talapia at RM6.80 perkg.

Because of the unstable price of red talapia, we have decided to approach consumer and restaurants on our own. The project will commence early next month, which is June.

So here's some information about our red talapia:-

1) They are all fed by 100% fish pellets (No chicken intestines, therefore no unhealthy fats and definitely no thrash)

2) Constant changing of mountain water into the pond. (No mud smell for sure)

3) Chemical Free (We do not practice using any sorts of chemical on our fishes)

Do call me if you would like to purchase these fresh from farm red talapia.
