About DFD

Danish Fishfarms Development ApS

Estimates of the global development of the Aquaculture industry indicate that this sector is going to be one of the fastest growing food industries in the world, in the coming decades.

Denmark is one of the leading countries in this field and has a long history of excellent traditions for cooperation between the industry, development-research and educational institutions.

DFD, is an independent 100% Danish owned company, operating within the international Aquaculture industry, for development and Turn-Key supply of big scale Super intensive and sustainable Fish farming projects, including the UN- 17 SDGs (United NATIONS 17 Sustainable Development Global goals), with production capacities ranging from: 36.000 Tons/year – 144.000 Tons/year of live fish.
DFD has over the years been involved in Fish farming projects in the following countries:

  • Denmark
  • Italy
  • Russia
  • Bangladesh
  • Cambodia
  • Cameroon
  • Benin
  • Uganda
  • Kenya
  • Mozambique
  • South Africa

DFD is furthermore a development and consulting company giving advice to private customers, companies, investment-Funds and Governmental institutions regarding investment strategy and concrete generic investment proposals in the modern international Aquaculture industry.

After more than 30 years of research, development and innovative engineering carried out, DFD has developed:
The modern Super intensive and Sustainable Fish farming concept, which will give major impetus to Technological innovation, within future land based big-scale Fish farming projects and raise it to a new level of revolutionizing production capacities.

This Paradigm shift will radically change the way of fish farming in the future, into a Super intensive and sustainable production technology, with preventive environmental mitigating measures.

Our new technology has opened-up the potential for exploring new scenarios in high production capacities in the Tropical and Sub-tropical areas.

Our staff as well as the staff of our associated companies, has many years of practical experience in development and implementation of projects, as well as modern Management operation.

Our pioneering innovations and longtime engineering development investments, in reliable state-of-the Art equipment for Tropical and Sub-Tropical conditions and also in the development of mitigating measures to preserve the sustainable environmental restrictions, has resulted in today’s modern Super intensive and sustainable Fish farming complex.

DFD’s challenge lies in meeting both the technical and economic constraints of a Super intensive and sustainable fish farming production, while respecting the international rules, regulations and normative for the environment.

Therefore this scheme centers on the following key-areas:

  • Modern high tech and reliable equipment, adapted to sub-tropical conditions.
  • Design and engineering of the Fish farm to optimize production capacities.
  • Design and engineering of the Fish farm with a Sustainable environment.
  • Sustainable production Management.
  • Modern international General Management.
  • Sectional Managers with hands-on expertize and genuine Know-how.
  • Hatchery Managers with hands-on expertize and genuine Know-how
  • Development of modern feed Management and feed digestibility.
  • Development of a serious and good working environment for employees.
  • Establishment of an Academy, (Educational Centre).
  • Optimized growth and performance plans.
  • Management of sanitary risks.
  • Management of Biosecurity, (Measures, designed to prevent diseases in fish).

Our aim is the continuous development and research of new technologies to reduce the environmental issues of both the Agriculture and the Aquaculture industry, as well as the improvement of the fish-processing industry, and at the same time, propose sustainable mitigating measures for the environmental impact, in accordance with International standards as well as improve the utilization of waste, and prevent any Cross- contamination, which is Pre-Core among our activities.

Organization and personnel.

The organization and staff-structure is to a high degree a combination of highly qualified Key-persons as staff members, and the ad hoc built-up project organization.

Project coordination group.

At the start of the project, we establish a project-coordination group with all the facilities to control, supervise and coordinate the project.

Mr. Kai Andersen, CEO, and Mr. Niels Hjelm Hansen CTO in DFD, will personally be part of the Project Coordination Group, to ensure the commitment, the seriousness and the dynamic experience, needed for the successful implementation of this project.

We develop:

  • Conceptual solutions.
  • Innovative engineering
  • Proven and reliable technology for Sub-Tropical and Tropical conditions.
  • Adapted for tomorrows modern Aquaculture needs.
