The commitment to sustainability, traceability and quality of the final product are the main concerns of the company, in order to obtain a product with its own identity.
Following the desire to innovate and explore new products that may have its place in the market, Tilamur raised the challenge of combining the cultivation of vegetables and fish in the same closed environment. The result of this experience was a perfect symbiosis between aquaculture and hydroponics, generating a 100% sustainable food.
With EASY project supported by the SME Instrument, TILAMUR will support the development of organic aquaculture feed formula for Tilapia fishes completely excluding fishmeal and fish oil in its composition. It will provide to the end user a cheaper price for higher quality and traceability products. It will also reinforce the European aquaculture ecosystem towards Global aquaculture competitors.
TILAMUR products will distribute in several European countries thanks to stakeholders among important European retailer chains such as El Corte Inglés (Spain), Tesco (U.K.) Morrison (U.K.) Ahold (Netherlands) and Lidl (Germany).
The main objective of the EASY project is the use of new technology aimed at developing feed for a more sustainable and more profitable aquaculture, thereby achieving lower production costs and the capability to supply new European customers who opt for new products committed to the environment rather than those from the Asian market. This technology, is based on an innovative, sustainable and inclusive system that combines the most modern techniques in the field of biotechnology and hydroponics. The result is to promote European aquaculture creating new products for the market and new jobs in countries heavily dependent on fishing. In order to follow these guidelines, this project has developed an innovative focused on the development of organic aquaculture feed formula. This formula completely excludes fishmeal and fish oil in its composition, and makes up to 50% cheaper production costs in our product (Tilapia fresh), allowing Tilamur SME to provide the end user, a product with high quality, traceability and profitability.
