Fish & Shrimp Feed Plant
Bangladesh Aquaculture Market
As the world’s fifth-largest aquaculture country, Bangladesh has nearly 2 million hectares of water dedicated to aquaculture, primarily producing shrimp, crab, and fish. Around 60% of the country’s animal protein intake comes from fish, making aquaculture crucial to the country’s food security and nutritional. With rising populations and incomes, demand for tilapia, catfish, and shrimp has surged—driving commercial feed consumption.
Bangladesh’s feed market focuses mainly on fish feed. Tilapia feed has seen the fastest growth due to its fast growth rate and disease resistance. Common local favorites like catfish and carp maintain steady feed demand. While shrimp feed requires advanced technology, it remains highly profitable as a premium segment.
Despite strong prospects, Bangladesh’s aquaculture feed market faces numerous challenges.
The most significant issue is that feed raw materials (fishmeal, soybean meal, corn) are largely imported. The market also suffers from counterfeit and low-quality feeds. Furthermore, many small-scale aquaculture farmers lack scientific knowledge or funds to afford quality feed.
Bangladesh’s aquatic feed market has two future development directions.
It can focus on developing specialized extruded floating feeds tailored to different species and growth stages. This type of feed reduces waste and improves nutrient absorption. Functional feeds with added probiotics and immune enhancers are becoming a mainstream market trend, reducing disease risk for fish and shrimp. Furthermore, Local alternatives like insect protein/algae to replace imports, cutting costs while utilizing domestic resources.
Détails du projet du client
This customer from southern Bangladesh has been working in the aquaculture feed industry for many years, holding management positions in several local feed companies. He deeply understands fish and shrimp feed formulations, market demand, and equipment performance.
As Bangladesh’s aquaculture industry continues to expand, he realized a shortage of high-quality feed locally. Thus, he decided to invest with several partners in building a fish and shrimp feed plant with an hourly production capacity of approximately one ton, aiming to supply quality extruded feed to nearby farmers.
Customers hope that their new aquatic feed processing factory can achieve the following goals:
- Producing both fish and shrimp feed on the same production line;
- Offering a wide range of pellet sizes, from 0.5mm to 8mm;
- Providing feed with good feed formation, strong water stability, and balanced nutrition;
- Having a stable and easy-to-operate production system, facilitating future expansion.
Bangladesh’s feed raw material supply system is relatively mature. And customers can easily obtain local common raw materials such as corn, soybean meal, rice bran, wheat bran, mustard oil cake, sesame cake, fish meal, meat and bone meal, and vegetable oil, and add vitamin and mineral premixes to supplement nutrition.
When designing the factory plan, RICHI considered the differences in protein levels and high oil content of these raw materials, and optimized the crushing and extrusion systems to make the density of feed pellets more controllable and the molding more stable.
Solution sur mesure
RICHI always puts the real needs of customers first. Before providing a feed production solution, we researched customers’ core pain points:
Do you have access to raw materials? What types are available?
Do you have planned production capacity estimates?
Should the production line support flexible switching switch between multiple recipes?
What is the desired timeline for installation and commissioning?
Based on this information, we design a more tailored solution for the customer, ensuring that fish & shrimp feed equipment configuration and process design are fully aligned with customers’ specific needs, helping them resolve operational challenges.
The final fish & shrimp feed plant primarily includes the following parts:
Raw Materials Processing
Through screening and magnetic separation, remove corn cobs from corn, lumpy/hardened shells from soybean meal, and small bone fragments from fishmeal. Discard moldy particles to prevent equipment damage or feed safety risks.
Next, further group materials by hardness/density differences, with hard and light materials separately to avoid mixed feeds that could lead to uneven pellet size.
01
Système de concassage
The classified raw materials are put into the ultrafine grinder in batches, where they are precisely ground into a uniformly sized fine powder.
Because each type of raw material is crushed independently, it can avoid cross-contamination and lay a foundation for the uniform fusion of nutrients in the mixing process.
02
Système de mélange
According to the preset feed formula ratio, ground basic raw materials are put into the mixing equipment, and then functional additives such as vitamins, minerals, and probiotics are added.
The mechanical stirring of the feed mixer is used to achieve full fusion of the materials.
03
Système d'extrusion
Because the customers wanted to produce extruded feed, and for cost considerations, we equipped with a twin screw extruder here, which can process both fish and shrimp feed.
When customers want to change the feed pellet size, they simply replace the ring die.
04
Système de séchage
Feed pellets just out of the extruder contain high moisture content. They are evenly dried by the drying system, which can make the pellets have appropriate moisture content while maintaining the nutrients, avoiding caking and affecting the subsequent attachment of additives.
05
Système de pulvérisation
The spraying system is typically started after the drying process, mainly to deposit functional substances onto the surface of dried feed pellets.
High-pressure atomizing nozzles evenly spray oils, flavorings, enzymes, and probiotics onto the pellet surface. And combined with a drum stirring function, the sprayed substances are fully contacted with the pellets and uniformly attached.
06
Système de séchage
It processes dry, high-temperature feed pellets after spraying.
By circulating cold air, the pellet temperature is quickly lowered to near room temperature. This prevents hot pellets from entering the packaging process, potentially causing thermal deformation of the packaging material and seal failure.
07
Système d'emballage
The terminal is equipped with a fully automatic packaging machine. It can automatically complete the weighing, filling and sealing of finished fish/shrimp feed particles, and simultaneously labels the bags with the production date, specifications, and shelf life.
Once packaged, customers can directly arrange to load the car for sale or store it in the warehouse.

Évaluation des clients et état d'avancement des projets
Six months after the fish and shrimp feed mill began operating, our after-sales team received a review from our Bangladeshi customer about the fish & shrimp feed plant we designed for them:
“This 1-ton-per-hour fish and shrimp feed production line is our first ever self-invested feed factory. Yeah, we’ve worked in the aquatic feed industry before, but building an entire factory from scratch? That’s a first for us.
RICHI team was super thorough right from the planning stage—they helped us go through all the details, like raw materials, production volume, and the types of feed we need to make. The whole production line they set up is really well-suited for us.
Once the equipment arrived, we organized the installation ourselves. But the RICHI engineers were there the whole time with online technical guidance and commissioning support. The whole process went really smoothly. Now the factory’s running steadily—we hit a good production volume every day, and the feed quality has also won over the fish farmers.”
