Turkey Aquaculture Market

Turkey’s aquatic feed market has grown fast with its booming aquaculture, becoming one of the most dynamic in the Mediterranean. As a major sea bass and sea bream producer, Turkey needs more high-efficiency, high-protein aquatic feed. The industry is led by big feed companies, with smaller ones filling gaps. Products include extruded pellets, starter feed, and functional additives.
But challenges remain.
Key ingredients like fishmeal and soybean meal are heavily imported, causing cost pressures from price swings and exchange rates. Some farmers still use cheap self-mixed or single-grain feed, slowing adoption of premium compound feed. Stricter environmental rules also require better nitrogen/phosphorus control and formula optimization, areas where local firms need to improve.
The future development of Turkey’s aquatic feed market will focus on raw material innovation (like insect protein) and industrial upgrades.
By improving production, expanding functional feed options, and supporting larger, modern aquaculture, the market should keep growing sustainably and efficiently.
Detalhes do projeto do cliente
The project owner is a Turkish professional with over 10 years of experience in the aquaculture industry. He has long managed large-scale sea bass and sea bream farms, deeply involved in the entire value chain from fry breeding to adult fish sales.
Through years of frontline operations, he keenly felt the impact of quality feed on farming efficiency. As Turkey’s aquaculture accelerates towards intensification and standardization, he spotted a structural gap in local supply of high-end extruded feed.
Based on his industry insights and supply chain understanding, he decided to invest in building a modern feed processing plant. This would secure access to highly stable, high-digestibility floating feed for both himself and nearby farmers.
However, during research, he noticed another rapidly emerging related market: Turkey’s pet economy is experiencing explosive growth.
Leveraging the high compatibility of existing aquatic feed production lines in core processes like high-temperature extrusion, pellet shaping, and oil coating, he decisively opted for a dual-purpose design.
This approach not only maximizes equipment utilization and spreads investment costs but also reflects a more flexible and sustainable production layout.
After commissioning, the facility will serve two growing markets simultaneously:

Providing customized feed for aquaculture farms along the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts,

while gradually exploring possibilities for local pet food production alongside meeting aquatic feed demands.


Solução à medida
A RICHI coloca sempre as necessidades reais dos clientes em primeiro lugar. Antes de fornecer uma solução de produção de rações, investigámos os principais pontos críticos dos clientes:

What made you decide to invest in this new factory?

Looking back at your farming and management experience, which fish feed metrics really make a difference in how well the fish grow?

Do you have any initial ideas for cat or dog food products, or is that still just a backup plan?

Are you thinking of building it in stages—getting the aquatic feed production up first, then expanding later?
Based on this information, we design a more tailored solution for the client, ensuring that pet food and floating fish feed equipment configuration and process design are fully aligned with customers’ specific needs, helping them resolve operational challenges.
The final pet food & floating fish feed production line includes the following sections:
Transformação de matérias-primas
Receive, clean, and measure all kinds of raw materials to remove impurities and ensure stable feeding conditions.
01
Sistema de trituração
Process the raw materials into a particle size suitable for extrusion.
02
Sistema de mistura
Pour the ground raw materials into a mixer according to the formula ratio and mix them evenly.
03
Sistema de extrusão
Feed the mixed materials into an extruder, where they are formed into pellets under high temperature and pressure. This is a key step in producing floating pellets commonly used in aquatic feed.
04
Sistema de secagem
The freshly extruded pellets have very high moisture content and need to be dried in a dryer. This prevents mold growth and extends shelf life.
05
Sistema de pulverização
After drying, the pellets are sprayed with oil, fish oil, or other nutrients. This not only increases the energy and palatability of the feed, making it more appealing to fish, but also forms a protective layer on the surface of the pellets to reduce nutrient loss.
06
Sistema de arrefecimento
The coated pellets are still hot and need to be cooled down in a cooler. This prevents caking and makes the pellets firmer, reducing breakage during packaging and transportation. The cooled pellets feel at room temperature and dry to the touch.
07
Sistema de embalagem
Packaged in bags of 10/20/50 kg depending on customer needs. The packaging machine automatically weighs and seals the bags.
08

Produção mecânica
After the customer confirmed the plan and signed the contract, our factory immediately began production. All feed equipment used in this 1 t/h pet food & floating fish feed plant is self-manufactured by RICHI, with some key components custom-made based on the customer’s raw material type and process needs.
Durante a produção, os nossos engenheiros supervisionam rigorosamente cada etapa — desde a seleção dos materiais até à montagem e colocação em funcionamento —, seguindo normas de qualidade uniformes para garantir um desempenho fiável e um funcionamento estável.
Ao mesmo tempo, para manter os clientes mais bem informados sobre o andamento do projeto, captamos regularmente fotografias e vídeos do processo de fabrico do equipamento, mostrando os equipamentos principais e os produtos semiacabados. Desta forma, os clientes podem ver claramente todo o processo de montagem, passo a passo, de toda a linha de produção, mesmo que não estejam no local.

Entrega de equipamento
Once all pet food and floating fish feed production equipment is fully manufactured and the necessary accessories for the feed production line are prepared, we will arrange shipment according to the delivery schedule confirmed with you.
Enquanto fabricante com uma longa tradição no setor do equipamento para rações, dispomos de um sistema de distribuição global bem estabelecido. O nosso equipamento de produção de rações tem sido exportado com sucesso para mais de 140 países e regiões.

Types of Feed Suitable for Production In Turkey
High levels of intensification in poultry and ruminant farming drive long-term, stable demand for compound feed. Additionally, with the development of aquaculture and high-value-added feed, local production is gradually replacing some imported feed, offering new growth opportunities for feed mills.
(1)Poultry Feed
This is the most mature and stable feed category in Turkey. As an important poultry producer in the Middle East and Europe, Turkey has highly intensive poultry farming, leading to the highest dependence on industrial compound feed, ensuring stable market demand.
Chicken Feed
(2)Ruminant Feed
Ruminant feed is a traditional strength of Turkey’s livestock industry.
Alimentação do gado
For dairy and beef cattle farming.
Alimento para ovelhas
Primarily for mutton/sheep meat production.
(3)Aquatic Feed
Turkey is one of Europe’s largest trout exporters. Aquaculture is concentrated in coastal and inland waters. Currently, high-quality aquatic feed still largely relies on imports, which offers good development potential for localized feed production.
