The money will come, the focus of smart farming in South Africa should be how to replicate a PROVEN model sustainably. We need to stop mimicking internet rhetoric & selling dreams on #aquaponics but focus on building the farming aspect of it. How much are we making? Is it viable?

300 Euros per square meter for a production of automation and high tech. I visited a hydroponic farm thats 5ha making 9 million euros per annum. So that's a R24 000 000 investment to run your operation repaid in 3 years.

Microbes in the water convert ammonia from the fish waste to nitrates which the plants then take up and use to grow. #Aquaponics produces a flourishing vegetable and fish crop from a small footprint, with no water wastage in an environmentally responsible way.

Why don't young farmers venture into commodity crops: maize, sorghum, sunflower, groundnut etc? Less inputs for your operation and high returns. Then there's also fruit: stone fruit, orchards. We are blessed with the best climate. Many a time, farmers rush to growing vegetables.

You can literally grow most things in aquaponics. Fun fact, if it's red tilapia, smaller body tilapia - it's the mossambicus. The blue gray bigger body is the niloticus. Advantage of choosing the red one is that it's cold tolerant
