SHRIMP FARMING
The 45 acre Shrimp Farm is in the midst of beautiful back waters of Alappuzha. The farm has good pumping facilities and the outer bunds of the farm are supported by strong retaining wall. About 250 young and yielding coconut trees adorn the 3 km long bunds in the farm.
Shrimp culture generate huge profits in short period. Tiger shrimp takes only 90 days to grow into 50 gram size which fetches a price of Rs 800/kg. Shrimp worth 4 to 5 crore rupees can be produced from this farm of 45 acres in just 4 months operation, if scientifically done. This is proven and regularly done in Andhra, Tamilnadu and now in Kerala also.
TOURISM
The enchanting scenic beauty coupled with absolute serenity and mesmerizing palm fringed sprawling lagoon makes this farm is a highly potential place for an ambitious tourist / Ayurvedic resort. The presence of shrimp and other fishes in the farm would be an added attraction for the tourists. The Kerala government encourage and promote echo friendly and responsible Farm Tourism.
The infrastructural requirements for tourism can be constructed without filling up even an inch of the wet land, although legally 5 % of the total farm area can be converted for tourism purpose. The already existing half a kilometer long central bund dotted with coconut trees in the farm can be made the life line of the resort. Independent rooms / wooden cottages of 300 sq ft or more can be constructed on pillars in the farm on either side of the central bund at a height of 3 meters above the water level. Each room may then be connected to the central bund with small wooden bridge. If forty rooms are constructed in this manner each room will be at a distance of more than 10 meters. The other infrastructural requirements like restaurants etc can also be constructed similarly. Reputed consultants here charge Rs 4 to 5 lakhs to prepare a comprehensive tourism project report – Eco Friendly and Responsible Tourism Project.
