Mobile app launched to help aqua farmers increase yield
Aqua farmers have developed "Aqua App" - android and iOS app, which helps farmers locate the manufacturers of feed themselves.

With the use of this android and iOS app, farmers can locate the manufacturers of feed themselves. This rules out involvement of middleman in transactions and brings more transparency in the business. The app also provides detailed information about weather, new advancements in aqua culture and up-to-date market prices.
