• Eruvaka’s expansion now spans 12 countries while their tools ensure USD 1.25 billion in harvest value
• The platform’s technology includes AI-based sonic feeding, automatic feeders, and water quality monitoring
The international company Nutreco has announced a major expansion of its smart aquaculture ecosystem. Its subsidiary, Eruvaka, that currently operates in 12 countries, helping aquaculture producers adopt smart solutions to increase productivity and reduce risk at commercial scale, and is still growing. The impact of their technological integration originated an enormous production volume in 2025: with approximately 370,000 metric tons of shrimp, with a market value of USD 1.25 billion, were farmed using the platform.
“Shrimp farming has become an AI- and data-driven business, and there is no room for error. Technology alone does not solve volatility. The real impact comes from integrating smart feeding systems with biological expertise, grower experience, feed formulation, and robust local advisory support. That ecosystem enables farmers to make faster, more informed decisions in challenging market conditions,” said Kunal Choudhary, CEO of Eruvaka.
Since Nutreco completed the acquisition of full ownership in 2023, Eruvaka has evolved from a technology provider into a globally integrated platform. It currently supports approximately 20,000 annual harvests, with more than 45,000 hectares of shrimp ponds managed through connected systems and over 60,000 smart feeding devices in operation.
Biomass Increases of Between 40% and 60%
According to them, while persistent price volatility continues to challenge shrimp producers worldwide, the platform represents one of the largest installed bases of smart feeding systems in the industry, reflecting a shift toward precision by producers seeking consistency in an unpredictable market.
In a landscape where pressure on margins is forcing many operations to reevaluate their models, Nutreco’s integrated approach has become a safeguard for profitability. In select markets, producers using the system have achieved biomass increases of between 40% and 60%. Coupled with improved feed efficiency, these operations have seen an increase in farm profits of between 20% and 40%.
It seems that also the environmental benefits are significant. Field studies demonstrated reductions in the carbon footprint of between 10% and 30% through optimized feeding practices. By combining real-time pond data with precise delivery, the system promotes stable conditions and greater farm reliability — factors critical to shrimp survival rates.
Strategic Importance of the Integration
Unlike standalone digital tools, Eruvaka’s technology — which includes AI-based sonic feeding, automatic feeders, and water quality monitoring — is integrated within the broader nutritional framework of Skretting (a Nutreco company). This allows the group to move beyond the simple deployment of equipment toward proactive farm optimization.
“For Skretting, the integration of Eruvaka demonstrates how we are evolving as a business. By bringing together digital innovation, nutrition expertise, producer experience, and local advisory support, we empower farmers with better knowledge, create a measurable impact on performance and sustainability, and help maintain resilient aquaculture systems in the long term,” commented Maarten Bijl, CEO of Skretting.
Proactive Farm Optimization
Eruvaka was founded in 2012 by Indian entrepreneur Sreeram Raavi. The company’s products allow farmers to actively monitor pond parameters and remotely control automated equipment. This significantly reduces farming risk and increases feed efficiency, shrimp growth and farm profitability.
Nutreco first partnered with Eruvaka in 2018, and this continued expansion reinforced its long-term commitment to the ‘feed-to-farm’ value chain. “By combining AI innovation with nutritional science, Nutreco is enabling a global shift from reactive support toward proactive farm optimization, strengthening the resilience of the global shrimp supply,” they say.
Since then, Nutreco‘s aquaculture division Skretting is working directly with Eruvaka to implement the latest in precision farming technology, firstly in Latin America and then in Asia.
