LaoPo Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 (edited) A very close friend of mine recently founded one of the largest, if not THE largest, indoor Barramundi* Fish Farms in Europe. It's a very profitable industry. Anyone knows if this has been done in Thailand? -Barramundi Fish Farming- * If you've never heard of it: 'Google' -Barramundi. You will find many sites.

naka Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Lots of Barramundi farming in Thailand, but don't know about indoors. Ther'e not known as barramundi here 'Lates calcalifer' is commonly called the seabass or giant sea perch or by it's local name, Pla Kapong Kao. Naka.

LaoPo Posted March 1, 2006 Author Share Posted March 1, 2006 Im pretty sure fish farming is one of those industries restricted to Thai nationals only. Really? I didn't know that. I thought to have read here on TV that quite a few people were doing all kinds of farming, like Rubber, Palm Oil, and Fish Farms as well ??? 1 or 2 years ago there was even a European guy murdered (I believe Dutch) having a successful fish farm in the south... But most of those fish farms are open farms, either in ponds or off-shore. I'm sure one can set-up an Indoor Fish Farm with a legal Thai Company and/or Thai Partners. You don't need a very big 'factory' to start it up and it could be in any industrial area. LaoPo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just proves the point; there is a rule, and a very efficient enforcing mechanism as well.. Edited March 1, 2006 by ~G~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heng Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 One of the companies we deal with (for export of our discus fish), Qian Hu is very active in Thailand with dozens of fish farming facilities. They are foreigners, albeit Singaporeans (listed on their stock exchange I believe as well), so perhaps not really considered foreign by locals.

ando Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Sorry, my mistake. It appears it is actually encouraged by the Thai BOI. http://www.boi.go.th/english/about/section1.pdf Im pretty sure fish farming is one of those industries restricted to Thai nationals only. Really? I didn't know that.

simon43 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Encouraged by the BOI? From the sounds of the previous post re the Dutch guy, perhaps the BOI has a hidden agenda of wanting all farang dead! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
