Eruvaka Expansion Reaches 12 Countries as AI-Driven Precision Secures US$1.25 Billion in Crop Value
AMERSFOORT – As sustained price volatility continues to challenge shrimp producers worldwide, Nutreco has announced the significant expansion of its intelligent aquaculture ecosystem. Its subsidiary, Eruvaka, is now operating across 12 countries, helping farmers implement smart solutions to increase productivity and mitigate risk at a commercial scale.
Since Nutreco completed full ownership in 2023, Eruvaka has evolved from a technology provider into a globally integrated platform. It now supports approximately 20,000 harvests annually, with more than 45,000 hectares of shrimp ponds managed through connected systems and over 60,000 intelligent feeding devices in active operation.
Data-Driven Performance in 2025
The impact of this technological integration was evidenced by massive production volumes throughout 2025:
480,000 metric tonnes of feed were delivered through Eruvaka-connected systems globally.
Approximately 370,000 metric tonnes of shrimp, with a market value of US$1.25 billion, were farmed using the platform.

This represents one of the largest installed bases of intelligent feeding systems in the industry, reflecting a shift toward precision by farmers seeking consistency in an unpredictable market.
Boosting Profits and Sustainability
In a landscape where margin pressure is forcing many operations to reassess their models, Nutreco’s integrated approach has become a safeguard for profitability. In selected markets, farmers utilizing the system have achieved biomass increases of 40–60%. Coupled with improved feed efficiency, these operations have seen an uplift in farm profits between 20% and 40%.

The environmental benefits are equally notable. Field studies demonstrated carbon footprint reductions of 10–30% through optimized feeding. By combining real-time pond insights with precision delivery, the system fosters stable conditions and improved crop reliability—both of which are critical to shrimp survival rates.
Kunal Choudhary, CEO of Eruvaka, noted that data is now the backbone of the industry:
“Shrimp farming has become an AI and data-driven business and there is no margin for error. Technology on its own does not solve volatility. The real impact comes from integrating intelligent feeding systems with biological expertise, farmer’s experience, feed formulation and strong local advisory support. That ecosystem enables farmers to make faster, more informed decisions in challenging market conditions.”
A Synergistic Approach
Unlike standalone digital tools, Eruvaka’s technology—which includes AI-based sonic feeding, automatic feeders, and water-quality monitoring—is embedded within Skretting’s (a Nutreco company) broader nutrition framework. This allows the group to move beyond simple equipment deployment toward proactive farm optimization.
Maarten Bijl, CEO of Skretting, highlighted the strategic importance of this integration:
“For Skretting, the integration of Eruvaka demonstrates how we are evolving as a business. By bringing together digital innovation, nutrition expertise, farmer’s experience and local advisory support, we empower farmers with better insights, create measurable impact on performance and sustainability, and help sustain resilient aquaculture systems for the long term.”
Nutreco first partnered with Eruvaka in 2018, and this continued expansion reinforces its long-term commitment to a "feed-to-farm" value chain. By blending AI innovation with nutrition science, Nutreco is enabling a global shift from reactive farming to proactive management, strengthening the resilience of the world's shrimp supply.
