One value chain, from biological origin to global market.
AQUAVERDE is not three businesses that happen to share an owner. It is a single system, designed so that every link controls the risk in the next — and so that value the industry usually leaks to third parties stays inside.
Why three nodes, not one.
A standalone farm, or a standalone processing plant, inherits risks it cannot control: the quality of bought-in larvae, the disease they may carry, the margin a third-party processor keeps, the price a broker dictates.
Running all three stages together removes those dependencies. It secures biological autonomy, locks in traceability end to end, and lets the platform monetise its own biomass under international standards rather than selling it raw.
Control the input no one else can guarantee
Postlarvae are the one raw material with no quality-equivalent substitute on the local market. Producing them in-house removes the chronic weakness of Venezuelan shrimp farming.
Contain risk in modules
A modular design lets a disease outbreak be isolated to specific blocks rather than threatening the whole operation — a structural answer to the sector's biggest production risk.
Capture the processing margin
Processing biomass internally, instead of selling it raw to a third party, keeps the value-added margin — the difference between a commodity and a certified, finished product.
Generate cash from day one
The processing plant operates from year one while the other nodes are still being built, acting as the program's liquidity anchor and de-risking the construction phase.
Follow the biomass through the chain.
Select any stage to see what it receives, what it produces, and what it controls.
The biological root of the program. An industrial hatchery that produces certified SPF postlarvae with genetic traceability by batch, removing the dependence on imported larvae and the pathogens that travel with them.
Receives
Selected SPF broodstock, marine water, and microalgae and Artemia produced on-site.
Produces
Certified postlarvae (PL10–PL12) dispatched to the Production Hub under cold chain.
Controls
Genetic quality and phytosanitary status — verified by mandatory PCR before dispatch.
The biomass generator. Technified semi-intensive farming that grows the hatchery's postlarvae into harvest-ready shrimp across a unified land platform, using the genetic lines adapted at Capana.
Receives
Certified postlarvae from Capana, feed, and independent renewable power.
Produces
Fresh whole shrimp, moved under active cold chain to INZUALCA in roughly 45 minutes.
Controls
Grow-out conditions, feed conversion and harvest timing — monitored via SCADA telemetry.
The monetization node, and the program's liquidity anchor. A processing plant with 15 years of export history that turns biomass into certified, value-added product — including a dedicated Ready-to-Eat line — for FOB export.
Receives
Fresh shrimp from the Hub, with full provenance recorded on the chain.
Produces
IQF and Ready-to-Eat products under FDA, EU and ASC certification, exported FOB.
Controls
Food safety, certification and the value-added margin captured inside the platform.
Premium buyers who require what an integrated chain can prove: certified origin, verifiable sustainability and consistent quality — sold in USD, FOB, via the Port of Maracaibo.
Receives
Finished, certified product with a complete farm-to-fork record.
Returns
USD-denominated revenue — a natural hedge against local currency risk.
Requires
Traceability and certification that only an integrated platform can guarantee.
Blockchain traceability runs through every stage.
Each productive milestone — from genetics to FOB dispatch — is recorded on an immutable ledger. A buyer can scan a code and verify origin and quality, meeting requirements such as the EU due-diligence rules and the US FSMA traceability rule ahead of time.
