Investment Costs
Land
Greenhouse area Waste treatment pond area Office area Land preparation cost

Greenhouse structure and components Raceway and components

Greenhouse Components
5,000 m2 raceway in GH (2 nursery RW + 8 GO RW ) Greenhouse
Structure Covering Systems Heat / cooling Electrical Shading Controls

Raceways with:
Heating system, drain pipes, and catwalks Mechanical and lab building Air supply

Freight and installation Equity to Bank Financing Ratio is crucial to project viability

Total Cost: Approx. $1 million per fully equipped GH

Economic Analysis of Superintensive Recirculating Shrimp Production Systems

Limitations of Analysis
Future conditions are unknown
Assume price conditions Assume loan conditions

Are back-to-back-to-back crops possible?


Depends on input availability, primarily PLs

Assume availability is year-round

Conclusions
Many factors affect the COP and financial viability Could be feasible under certain biological and economic conditions Combination of small changes in many growout components can lead to profitability

Opportunities for the Future


Improving technologies are:
Increasing growth and production rates Reducing variable and fixed costs

Genetic selection
Higher yields over time

Financial analyses are focusing research


Improves competitiveness

Marketing opportunities
