AGRICULTURE INDUSTRY EXCEL DESCRIPTION

This product (Fish Farm – 10 Year Financial Model) is an Excel template (XLSX), which you can download immediately upon purchase.

A fish farm, also known as an aquaculture facility, is a controlled environment where fish are bred, raised, and harvested for commercial purposes. Fish farms can operate in freshwater or saltwater and typically involve the cultivation of species such as tilapia, salmon, trout, or catfish. These farms use systems like ponds, tanks, or offshore cages to manage fish growth, feeding, water quality, and health. The primary goal is to produce fish efficiently and sustainably to meet consumer demand for seafood while reducing pressure on wild fish populations.

This Financial Model presents a development and operations scenario of a Fish Farm using a Pond Aquaculture System. The model accounts for key variables such as stocking density, feed costs, growth cycles, mortality rates, market prices, and seasonal fluctuations and provides clear, data-driven insights to support funding decisions and strategic planning.

It includes calculations and assumptions for the Farm Development (Land Acquisition or Lease, Construction Costs, Equipment, etc), Startup Expenses, Fish Population (Number of Ponds, Pond Capacity, Mortality Rate, Weight), Fish Feeding Schedule, Revenue from Farm and FIlleting Facility Sales, Direct Costs (Feeding, Treatment, Harvesting, Logistics, etc.), Payroll, Operating Expenses, Fixed Assets & Depreciation, Financing through Debt & Equity and Exit Valuation assumptions (WACC and Terminal Value) in case of a potential sale of the business.
