How the Formula Works

Yield (kg) = Area (m²) × Density × (Survival % ÷ 100) × ABW (g) ÷ 1,000 Total OPEX = Seed + Feed + Electricity + Minerals/Probiotics + Labor Net Profit = (Yield × Farmgate Price) - Total OPEX

Why This Calculation Matters:

Accurate economic budgeting helps farmers secure institutional bank finance, evaluate insurance claims, and stress-test profit margins against farmgate spot price fluctuations.

Pro Farming Tips:

  • Feed represents 58–64% of total production cost; reducing FCR by 0.1 saves up to ₹45,000 per acre.
  • Maintain total cost of production strictly below ₹280/kg for 30–40 count Vannamei to ensure solid profitability during low-price market cycles.
