Aquaculture industry in India produces more than 12 million tonnes of fish every year. The volume has been achieved owing to relentless efforts by farmers and aquaculture product manufacturers. Both the sectors have worked hand in hand to transform the aquaculture industry. Making a mark in this segment is Virbac that is a recognised global manufacturer of aquaculture products and has now been operating in India. “In each culture area we have technical and skilled sales forces that support the farmers to make profitable aquaculture. This in turn helps to build trust with farmers and increase the country’s aquaculture production,” says Satish Pasrija, Managing Director, Virbac India.

Virbac’s products are well known to the farmers and aquaculture experts. The ponds and farmers are basically located out of rural India. Their products are readily available to the farmers whenever they require. This has been possible due to the strong distribution network of Virbac and the associated retailers in various locations of India.
Contributing to the growth of aquaculture industry
Virbac takes pride in contributing to the growth of the aquaculture industry by providing sustainable solutions to the farmers. Indian aquaculture industry sometimes faces challenges and sometimes gets high demand from the globe. With the growth of this demand, there has been volumetric increase in production. And a higher production rate must not mean deterioration of quality which is why Virbac is always the trusted partner of farmers during the ups and downs in the industry.
