Other information: Pioneering company in fish feed production (from 2 state of art Extru-Tech extruders) in Pakistan, have made strides to convince & motivate farmers (through feed results & commercial viability) to gradually switch over from traditional feeding practices (for extensive culture) to floating feeds (for semi intensive culture system) in a period of 3 years. Subsequent shift will be rather fast. Government and private farmers are now commercially applying feeds and are experimenting with new fish varieties and shrimps in varied density environments, due to availability of extruded feeds from the “Oryza Organics”
