Until now, SIA Eko Ģilde operated in the forestry and agricultural sectors. Seeing high perspectives in the aquaculture sector, the company’s management decided to diversify its business profile and start project implementation in aquaculture – by creating a pikeperch farming complex on a plot of land owned by SIA Eko Ģilde in Cēsis district.
The aim of the project is to establish an aquaculture farm, expanding the company’s existing operations, creating a pikeperch farming complex with full-cycle aquaculture from caviar to commercial fish, using the advantages of recirculation systems. Co-financing from EU funds was attracted for the implementation of the project.
