The only Italian crustacean supply chain
In November 2022, the first highly digitized and sustainable Italian crustacean supply chain was born for the full-cycle farming and with an integrated IMTA model
smart aquacultura
The strategic goal: to develop and to consolidate the elements of sustainability, thus to reduce the environmental impact and to increase the profitability
The supply chain integrates the Italian regions such as: Lombardy, Sardinia, Abruzzo, Trentino Alto-Adige, Campania and Basilicata with projects organized into three lines: farming, marketing, research and developmen
We consider teamwork as a necessary part collaboration, ideas sharing and the development of the market in the supply chain approach as one of the basic aspects to guarantee success and give the right shape to the ideas of our customers
Farming line
includes farms in Sardinia and Abruzzo and the National Reproduction Center in Sardinia, all in the capital raising stage, that is with completed the project and meetings stages with both local and regional authorities
Marketing & Ecommerce line
aims the own brand creation and promotion and the developing of a E-commerce platform, intended to promote products and manage sales directly from farms to the consumer
R&D line
is composed of two main projects:
(1) engineering solution for the transformation of waste (i.e. crustacean shells) into the new products following the circular economy concept as the strategic solution
(2) evaluation of crustacean growth estimation performances through the analysis of neural networks with the different Machine Learning algorithms to constantly improve the management model of each farm in the supply chain
The impacts
Focus on reducing environmental impacts
The growth idea starts from the urgent needs to raise an aquaculture but sustainable seafood products share in the whole EU market to break also the constantly increasing dependence on imports. Certainly, the increase in productivity have to follow the positive impacts strategy with reducing environmental pressure
alternative economic models of the European coasts
Each farm not only values the european landscape heritage preserving it, but also offers an alternative economic model of the European coasts that are often rural zones or concentrated too much on tourism
support for the European fishieries economic sector
We allow the renewal of European stocks by a sustainable alternative to the caught product that is often the only internal source for crustaceans
reinforcement of the European tourism
The HoReCa sector is designed as a major customer with the supply of fresh, km0 products in conjunction with the objectives of the European FarmToFork program
development of a sustainable seafood market
With our waste processing plant, extracting the main components for biodegradable films to be used for food packaging each farm in network becomes almost zero waste one
The strategic goal of the first European crustacean supply chain is to launch a network of 5 highly technological farms with an integrated IMTA model by 2025
Sardinia Region of Italy
Designed productivity: 250+ tons per year of fresh crustaceans for complete scale farm Status: Application for funding is admitted for the initial scale farm
Abruzzo Region of Italy
Designed productivity: 160+ tons per year of fresh crustaceans for complete scale farm Status: Capital Raising Round
the 2030's goals
Smart aquaculture means firstly a responsible growth
As the European citizens we ave to increase the European aquaculture share in the supply balance, with slightly but inevitably decrease of imports. At the same time it is clear that the increase in productivity must be followed by reduction of environmental impacts
