If fish is Bangladesh’s pride, fish feed is its silent engine. You can’t grow healthy fish with rotten nutrition. And without the right feed, even the best pond turns into a muddy gamble. That’s where a fish feed mill steps in—it feeds a national hunger and farms prosperity.
The Most Important Point First
A fish feed mill isn’t just a business—it’s the backbone of modern aquaculture. As fish farming explodes across Bangladesh, demand for floating and sinking feed is rising fast. And most farms don’t trust imported feed anymore—they want fresh, local, affordable, high-protein pellets.
That’s your gap. That’s your goldmine.
Why It’s a Smart Business
Because fish are eating more than ever. And feed makes up 60–70% of farm cost. That’s a giant slice of the pie. The one who controls feed pricing, controls the pond.
Most important reasons this project makes sense:
- Bangladesh has over 4.5 million MT annual fish production
- Estimated feed demand is 6 million MT by 2028
- Many regions lack local supply of fresh floating feed
- Margins per ton are high if you manage raw material smartly
- Export potential exists to India, Nepal, Myanmar
Project Scale: Medium-to-Large Feed Mill
Daily Capacity: 10 tons/day (floating + sinking)
Annual Output: 3,000+ tons
Let’s double the standard budget as requested, and design for automation, higher efficiency, and modern quality control lab.
| Item | Estimated Cost (BDT) |

| Land & Civil Construction (Factory + Storehouse) | 1,50,00,000 |
| Raw Material Silo + Storage Unit | 40,00,000 |
| Feed Crusher, Grinder, Mixer (10TPD) | 60,00,000 |
| Pelletizer with Die (Floating & Sinking) | 85,00,000 |
| Drying & Cooling System | 35,00,000 |
| Weighing + Bagging + Stitching Setup | 25,00,000 |
| Boiler (1 Ton) + Steam Line | 20,00,000 |
| Generator + Electrical + Panel | 22,00,000 |
| Feed Lab, Quality Test & Automation Panel | 28,00,000 |
| Working Capital (Raw materials, 3 months) | 80,00,000 |
| Total Project Budget | 5,45,00,000 |
Product Line
| Feed Type | Protein % | Usage |
|---|---|---|
| Floating Feed | 28–32% | Tilapia, Pangas, Koi |
| Sinking Feed | 25–30% | Carp, Shrimp |
| Starter Feed | 35%+ | Hatchlings and fry |
You can also add vitamin-enriched or probiotic formulations for niche markets.
Profit Projection (Monthly)
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Production (10 Tons/day × 25) | 250 Tons |
| Avg Sale Price | BDT 60,000/ton |
| Revenue | BDT 1,50,00,000 |
| Raw Material Cost (70%) | BDT 1,05,00,000 |
| Labor, Utility, Admin | BDT 15,00,000 |
| Net Profit | BDT 30,00,000 |
Break-even: Around 24–30 months
Annual Net Margin: 20–22% if raw material prices remain stable
What Can Go Wrong?
Yes, everything isn’t rosy. You could suffer from:
- Price shocks in soybean, maize, or fishmeal
- Supply chain delays in rural zones
- Mold issues if your drying line isn’t efficient
- Poor packaging = feed spoilage
But all that can be avoided with smart planning.
How RAYHANS Delivers the Full Setup
We don’t sell machines. We build feed ecosystems:
- Site layout, ventilation, and waste control
- Machinery import or local assembly with specs
- SOPs for feed formulation (tilapia, pangas, koi, etc.)
- Lab design for fat/protein/fiber/moisture testing
- Branding & bag design for retail feed sales
- Project profile writing, bank liaison, loan syndication
- Training workers on clean handling & feed hygiene
We stay involved—until the first pellet hits the pond.
Final Thought
Fish feed isn’t just powdered grains. It’s compressed wealth. One pellet feeds a fish. Ten thousand pellets feed a nation. This isn’t just a business—it’s a battle for aquaculture control.And with the right setup, you win that war—one ton at a time.
