How to Start Fish Farming

My parents bought a Fish Pond property in Pampanga years back but just had the farm rented for 10 years. This year, 2012, my parents ended the contract for the pond and now it is just there, unutilized.

I am on the look out for great business opportunities for this property and I need help! My parents and relatives were not that risky and most are in the corporate world or are employees so they do not want to explore business and farming. I have a little budget to work around with.

Our property is a 7-hectare land which was dug out into one whole pond. It is big and wide as a river and was used before for tilapia culture. Source of water will be from the irrigation and it is surrounded with other ponds and rice fields.

If you can share your ideas and somehow help me find financial/developmental support to do this venture, please let me know. I am looking at Hito, Pangacius or Tilapia farming.

Thanks!

Just showing you the stuff i own. :)

My House in Quezon City. I bought a lot and hired an architech to build this simple minimalist home for us!



I also bought a property in Pampanga. My family spend most of our weekends here. My friends visit us once in a while. The property is spacious. We have alloted part of it in Mango Farming. I also planted Dragon Fruit Trees. I've also planted some chillis. I'm not a fan of spicy foods but I just like spices. Besides, among the stuff I sell is my famous 'Chili Flakes'!

 I've planted a few Mahogany trees in our farm and I intend to relocate them and make them borders for the property.

At our Civil Wedding, my Lola and Dad gave us 2 cows as gifts. We've added some more later on and now we have a horde of them. They're still in Masbate though.  

I'm not a fan of cars so I bought those that I find useful for us. When Kiko and I go out to see friends or if we need to run an errand, we use either our Honda Civic or our Suzuki Swift. Kiko drives the Swift more often coz its automatic.

And ofcourse, our extended family likes to go out of town a lot so I bought this one for special occasions.

Here's a few of my favorite things!!!!

Finally, I wouldn't have all of these and wouldn't be here without the help of our family business which started off as a trial and error but grew into a large company, the Lucky Star Farms and Aquaculture. I know we did a great job growing this business. Look at it now! It's great!

We are also supplying poor farmers fingerlings. We give them free of those so they can do backyard farming and have sustainable food supply. :)

Thank you!
