We're raising growth capital to expand a working, revenue-generating aquaculture farm in Ogbomoso, Oyo State — one that posts its operating day publicly, so investors can diligence us before they ever sign a term sheet.

Catfish market share
Nigeria consumes roughly 3.6 million tonnes of fish per year, against a domestic production of just over 1 million tonnes. The delta is filled by imports that cost the economy over $1 billion annually in foreign exchange.
Meanwhile the population is growing, disposable incomes are rising, and every currency devaluation makes frozen imports more expensive. The structural case for domestic aquaculture has never been clearer — and catfish and tilapia are the species that move at scale.

Figures aggregated from FDFA and FAO fisheries reports; round numbers, the trend has held for a decade.
Nigerian aquaculture has plenty of capital-seekers. Very few of them can show you a timestamped public record of the work. We can.
Operating, not a concept
Ponds stocked, products in catalog, activity posted daily. We're not asking you to fund an idea — we're asking you to scale a working farm.
Transparency by default
Every feeding, sorting and harvest is logged on our public Farm Pulse. Staff IDs are verifiable via this site. No opaque middle layer.
The right geography
Ogbomoso sits on a reliable groundwater table, on the Lagos–Ibadan–Ilorin axis, with a growing local aquaculture workforce and input supply.
The right species mix
Catfish carries ~60% of Nigerian farmed-fish volume for a reason. Tilapia and Heteroclarias hybrids round out cycle risk.
Founder-led, phone-answered
Taiwo (MD) publishes his personal mobile and answers it. No investor-relations theatre.
Investor-grade reporting
We commit to quarterly written updates and independent cycle audits once the round closes.
Capital is sized to unlock three things at once: more ponds in the ground, less exposure to feed price swings, and more value retained on-site through a small processing line. Exact splits are refined per ticket and deployment calendar.
Revenue already exists today. The round accelerates expansion and margin, it does not bootstrap operations.
New concrete ponds engineered for biosecurity and clean drainage.
Bulk-feed buying to insulate cycle economics from Naira moves.
In-house fingerling production to lower unit cost and protect genetics.
Smoking line and freezers to capture value beyond live sales.
Extending the public journal, food-safety certification, independent audit.
A simplified single-pond view based on industry-typical benchmarks — not a forecast, not a promise.
