Marine by-products
The proposed starting point is a fish-waste processing facility, converting suitable residues into fishmeal and fish oil for qualified buyers. Fishmeal from the facility could also supply feed for a future local aquaculture sector.
Development requirement: Validate feedstock volumes, secure a suitable site, complete permitting, confirm processing performance and agree buyer terms.
Soil & organics
Source-separated food, market and garden residues could become fertiliser and biochar, supporting healthier soils and productive agriculture.
Development requirement: Test nutrient content, pathogens, contaminants and salinity; establish safe processing and approved end uses.
Farms & fresh food
A first cohort of 20 regenerative farms is proposed, supported by shared aggregation, grading, packing and cold-chain services. Expansion would follow field results and customer demand.
Development requirement: Assess land, water and growing conditions; validate yields, farmer economics and buyer requirements.
Controlled growing
Controlled-environment systems could support crops and fresh fodder through the year. Each application must prove its resource needs and commercial case in Seychelles.
Development requirement: Evaluate utilities, seed and labour costs, dry-matter feed value, suitable crops and reliable demand.
Eggs & local protein
The original partner-farmer and egg-product vision remains part of the programme: laying hens, local feed options, value-added egg products and appropriate recovery of residual materials.
Development requirement: Confirm animal welfare, veterinary and food-safety requirements, feed quality, economics and supply agreements.
Energy systems
Assess solar and storage around the needs of individual facilities. Other energy-from-residue opportunities would require separate technical, environmental and commercial assessment.
Development requirement: Confirm loads, tariffs, environmental permissions, grid or self-supply arrangements, and maintenance requirements.
Materials recovery
Further opportunities include glass, metals, PET and construction materials. Selection should follow measured local waste streams, safe recovery options and real demand.
Development requirement: Confirm volumes, collection systems, product standards, permitted uses and commercial buyers.
