APJ has strengths in all aspects for a successful business launch with experienced individuals, e.g., marketing, genetics, engineering, fish health, hydroponics and aquaponics, etc. Most importantly, we know how to grow fish (extensively) and vegetables and have a strong record of success in bringing these products to market.
