Hatch Blue Consulting was engaged by a private equity firm to conduct an extensive due diligence assessment for a proposed Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS) facility targeting Atlantic salmon production in Southeast Asia. The facility, planned for a 10,000-ton annual output, aimed to tap into the premium market for Atlantic salmon, with a specific focus on the sashimi-grade segment in Japan. An integral part of the project was exploring opportunities for by-product utilization, particularly in the pet food market, to maximize profitability.

Hatch Blue's due diligence report delivered comprehensive insights into the project's potential, providing the private equity firm with a robust foundation for their investment decision. The insights helped refine the project's business strategy, optimize cost projections, and strengthen the financial model. The strategic analysis also highlighted opportunities for the facility to gain a competitive edge in both the premium salmon and pet food markets, positioning the project for long-term success in Southeast Asia’s aquaculture sector.
