Leading the transformation in sustainable shrimp farming with revolutionary technology that protects our environment while strengthening global food security.

Sustainable Aquaculture for a Better Tomorrow

Traditional shrimp farming has created environmental and social challenges that demand innovation.

Environmental Destruction

150K+Hectares of mangroves lost yearly to aquaculture
Polluted discharge harms ecosystems daily
High water use in water-scarce regions

Massive Carbon Footprint

80%of global shrimp shipping = Extreme GHG emissions
Few production regions → supply dependency
Cold chain logistics = High energy use
Vulnerable supply chain

Food Insecurity

80%+of shrimp imported by most countries.
Vulnerable to supply disruptions
Price volatility impacts low-income populations
Local farming potential unrealized
Solutions

Environmental Sustainability

Innovation rooted in years of Korean R&D and global aquaculture expertise

01/

20x Less Land

Vertical, controlled environments grow 20x more shrimp per hectare – protecting ecosystems that would otherwise become farmland.

02/

Zero Antibiotics

Current Challenges

Today's Food System Is Broken

Shrimp supply chain impact

Average shrimp travels 8,000+ km

before reaching consumer – 2 tons CO₂/ton shrimp

Concentration Risk

80% of shrimp globally is concentrated in 3~4 countries

Supply Chain Vulnerability

At risk from disease, climate, and geopolitics

Shipping Footprint

Extreme GHG from 8,000+ km average distance

Equity Gap

Poor countries import 80%+ of shrimp at high prices

Ecological Injustice

Mangrove destruction concentrated in poorer regions

Aqua Development's Solution

Grow Shrimp Everywhere, Sustainably.

Our modular systems enable profitable shrimp farming in any climate, any region. This fundamentally transforms the global food system.

Indoor shrimp farming facility

Decentralize Production

  • Grow shrimp locally in 80+ countries that currently import
  • Eliminate shipping emissions
  • Build food sovereignty and security
  • Create local jobs and economic opportunity

Potential to replace 50%+ of global shrimp imports with local production

Protect Nature

  • Stop mangrove destruction (save 150K+ hectares annually)
  • End coastal water pollution
  • Eliminate carbon from seafood supply chain
  • Restore ecosystem integrity

Replacing 50% of imports with local AD farms = saving 1M+ hectares of mangroves

Commercial Viability

Making Sustainability Profitable

Environmental responsibility with competitive economics.
Local production that beats imports.

Cost-Competitive with Imports

Our systems achieve production costs that compete with imported shrimp, eliminating the traditional cost barrier to local production.

G4 productivity = lower cost per kgReduced feed waste = % feed savingsMinimal disease = lower treatment costsAutomation = reduced labor costs
Cost-Competitive with Imports

Premium Market Opportunity

Beyond cost competition, our farms qualify for premium markets that pay X% premiums for sustainable, local shrimp.

ESG retailers = sustainable sourcingEthical, local seafood = consumer premiumRegional = fresher, better qualityFull traceability = total transparency
Premium Market Opportunity
Partners

Operating across 9+ countries

With 50+ deployments proving our repeatable model works globally. Our data-driven operations system ensures consistency regardless of location.
