Success, Together: The MariseaX Partnership with Our Aquaculture Farmers
At the heart of every premium shrimp that bears the MariseaX name is a story of partnership. While international buyers see the final, flawless product, the true journey begins much earlier, in the vibrant aquaculture landscapes of India, working hand-in-hand with the farmers who are the true artists of this craft. For Litopenaeus vannamei and Penaeus monodon (Black Tiger Prawns) alike, our model is built not on distant transactions, but on deep, collaborative relationships that form the very bedrock of our supply chain.
Our Philosophy: Partnership, Not Procurement
We believe that the only way to guarantee exceptional quality is to be involved in its creation. MariseaX operates as an extension of our partner farms, providing the framework, support, and expertise that empowers farmers to achieve their best harvests, season after season. Our commitment extends to every single production cycle, beginning with comprehensive soil testing for every batch to ensure optimal pond conditions from the start. This meticulous attention to detail at the foundational level sets the stage for successful harvests throughout the year.
Our partnership is a full lifecycle commitment, as shown below:
Our Industry Explicit Competence
A Closer Look at Our Integrated Partnership
Strategic Foundation: Building from the Ground Up
Our partnership begins with a comprehensive foundation where every new cycle starts with fresh assessment:
- Farmer Onboarding & Capability Assessment: We conduct detailed assessments of potential partner farms, evaluating their infrastructure, water sources, and technical expertise to ensure alignment with our quality standards.
- Pre-Cycle Soil Testing for Every Batch: Before each new stocking cycle, we conduct comprehensive soil testing across all pond bases. This analysis determines precise lime application rates and soil treatment strategies, ensuring optimal pH balance and creating the perfect foundation for shrimp health and growth in every single batch.
- Integrated Strategic Procurement: We leverage our network to facilitate access to high-health, disease-resistant broodstock and optimal feeds, ensuring quality from the very first step.
Active Production Cycle: Daily Collaboration for Optimal Growth
During the critical grow-out phase, our collaboration intensifies:
- Daily Monitoring & Technical Support: Our field technicians maintain regular contact with partner farms, providing real-time advice on everything from water parameter management to shrimp health assessment.
- Precision Input Management: We work closely with farmers to optimise feeding strategies and health management practices, ensuring both Vannamei (90-120 day cycle) and Tiger Prawns (120-180 day cycle) receive exactly what they need at each growth stage.
- Continuous Water Quality Management: Our partnership ensures 24/7 monitoring of critical parameters including dissolved oxygen, temperature, salinity, and pH, with immediate corrective actions when needed.
Harvest Operation Management: Protecting the Value We’ve Created Together
When the growing cycle completes, our joint work culminates in a precisely managed harvest:
- Pre-Harvest Quality Inspection: Our quality team conducts final assessments to ensure shrimp meet exact specifications before harvest approval.
- Supervised Harvest & Immediate Processing: We oversee harvest timing to minimise stress and ensure immediate transfer to ice-slurry baths, locking in texture and flavour at peak freshness.
- Quality Grading & Batch Traceability: Each harvest batch is carefully graded and tagged with unique identifiers, maintaining full traceability back to the specific farm and pond of origin.
Growth & Development: Learning and Improving Together
After each production cycle, we focus on continuous improvement:
- Performance Review & Knowledge Sharing: We analyse production data together, identifying successes and areas for improvement.
- Joint Planning for Future Cycles: Based on our review, we collaboratively plan the next production cycle, implementing improvements to enhance both quality and productivity.
