Until now, the carps were being majorly cultured in the country. However, over the past few years, the fish cultivators have started diversifying their practices and are inculcating culturing of other species as well. According to a new report by RNCOS, “India Commercial Aquafeed Market Outlook 2018”, the production of tilapia and catfish is increasing in the country on the back of rising demand in the national as well as international market.
 
According to our report, catfishes are a delicacy in states like Odisha, West Bengal and Assam during the monsoons and are also popular in the Indian states like Kerala amongst some. Further, the nutritive value of catfishes is comparable to some of the major fishes in the country. On the other hand, the production cost of tilapia is rather low compared to other species of fish. In addition, the mono sex culture of tilapia has also proven to be advantageous because of faster growth and larger & more uniform size of males. Thus, fish cultivators are increasingly cultivating the above two species to bridge the demand and the supply gap.
 
The report India Commercial Aquafeed Market Outlook 2018 provides an indepth and rational analysis of the commercial aquafeed market in India. It covers market forecast till 2018 for the production of major aquacultured finfishes like carps, tilapia and catfishes, along with aquacultured shellfish. Since the aquaculture production is expected to increase in the future, the production and consumption of commercial aquafeed is also bound to increase. Thus, the report also covers commercial aquafeed market forecast till 2018, which has been further fragmented into commercial finfish feed and commercial shrimp feed market.
 
The forecast for production and consumption of commercial finfish (i.e. carps, tilapia & catfish) feed have been drawn till 2018. A section about the major ingredients used in commercial finfish feed and their inclusion rate to generate a brief understanding of the kind of ingredients that will be in demand has also been provided in the report. Further, an overview of the drivers and the government initiatives, which have the capacity to put the industry on a growth trajectory, has also been given. We have also identified the challenges faced by the industry along with a brief overview of the FCR of various finfishes. The report also covers business overview of various well known industry players.
