Bangladesh
eFishery is an aquaculture technology startup that offers a digitally controlled automatic feeder for smallholder fish and shrimp farmers. It also connects farmers with feed suppliers and other inputs through an online market platform. eFishery relies on IoT devices, data analytics and connectivity, allowing farmers to control fish feeding in their ponds directly from their mobile devices. The company has expanded its services to include financial support and e-commerce solutions for participating farmers. eFishery entered the Bangladesh market in 2017, launching a pilot project to introduce its smart fish feeder technology. The four main products of eFishery are the automatic feeding device for fish and shrimp (eFisheryFeeder), the fish feed product (eFisheryFeed), a financial scheme for farmers (eFisheryFund) and an online platform connecting fish farmers with customers (eFisheryFresh).
