Like any business, there is an investment of money and time to get started in a commercial aquaponics venture. You need a good business plan, a proven system design and operation methods, a controlled environment for year round growing and grower support.
Starting an aquaponics business will cost dramatically less than a traditional farm because you don’t need much land and you don’t need massive farming equipment. But, there is still an investment.
The amount of the investment is directly proportional to the size of the operation.
What is the ROI?
Typically, you can assume a ROI (Return on Investment) of 3-4 years after you start the system.
