About us
Holland Aqua helps organisations and countries move forward in farming fish in a sustainable and futureproof manner. We do so by conducting due diligence, market and feasibility studies, designing fish farms with local material, training farm employees and improving business processes as well as quality levels by means of certification and audits.
International aquaculture network
We believe in co-creation. Our projects are multidisciplinary and mostly international. Holland Aqua has a solid international network, including ministries, universities, research institutes and companies in the aquaculture industry in Africa, Asia, Europe and the Middle East. By bringing strategic partners to the table, Holland Aqua combines knowledge with practice.
Holland Aqua is a founding member of the Dutch Aquaculture Experts association, a network of more than 15 Dutch companies and research institutes that join forces in international aquaculture projects including design and realisation of fish farms, management, training and consultancy.
An important partner in the development of aquaculture projects in East Africa is FoodTechAfrica, a public-private initiative combining the strengths of Dutch agro-food companies, knowledge institutes, governmental agencies and their East-African counterparts to improve food security in East Africa through the establishment of a fully integrated aquaculture value chain.

In February 2020, a demonstration RAS Tilapia farm was opened in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, in the presence of the Dutch ambassador and the Vice Minister of Livestock & Fisheries. Together with other partners, Holland Aqua engineered the site for both intensive hatchery and intensive growout fish farming technology (FisHub).
