Why ‘sustainable aqua culture’ in addition to your core business ‘sustainable forestry’?
We choose deliberately for ‘sustainable aqua culture’ because:
- there is a strong need for fresh fish in Costa Rica in general,
- there is a strong growing need for fresh fish, in Peninsula de Nicoya in particular,
- the natural circumstances and the infrastructure on Hacienda la Esperanza are ideal for it,
- it fulfills the wish of share holders to spread the financial risks,
- this approach is appropriate within the idea of a self supporting country estate,
- most share holders are ‘fisherman`s friends’
- it is important to increase the value of real assets by building our own fish farm
- our guests prefer to eat fresh fish on Hacienda la Esperanza
- we - parallel to forestry and hospitality - can realise earlier dividend cash flow,
- we will have a good spread in terms of exploitation and staff
- it gives a new dimension to our company in addition to reforestation, livestock-farming and hospitality.
