As volatile shrimp prices continue to pressure producers worldwide, Nutreco has expanded its intelligent aquaculture ecosystem, with Eruvaka now operating in 12 countries to help farmers improve productivity and reduce operational risk.
Three years after Nutreco completed full ownership of Eruvaka, the platform has grown into a globally integrated aquaculture system supporting around 20,000 shrimp harvests annually. More than 45,000 hectares of shrimp ponds are currently managed through connected systems, while over 60,000 intelligent feeding devices are in operation worldwide.
In 2025, nearly 480,000 metric tonnes of feed moved through Eruvaka-connected systems, supporting the farming of approximately 370,000 metric tonnes of shrimp valued at US$1.25 billion.
“Shrimp farming has become an AI and data-driven business and there is no margin for error,” said Kunal Choudhary, chief executive of Eruvaka.
“Technology on its own does not solve volatility. The real impact comes from integrating intelligent feeding systems with biological expertise, farmer’s experience, feed formulation and strong local advisory support.”
According to Nutreco, farmers using its integrated systems in selected markets have recorded biomass increases of up to 40–60%, alongside stronger feed efficiency and improved operational stability. The company added that farm profits have increased by between 20% and 40% in some operations.
Field studies also showed carbon footprint reductions of up to 30% through optimised feeding practices and real-time pond management.
“For Skretting, the integration of Eruvaka demonstrates how we are evolving as a business,” said Maarten Bijl, chief executive of Skretting. “We empower farmers with better insights, create measurable impact on performance and sustainability and help sustain resilient aquaculture systems for the long term.”
