Singapore Crawfish is no stranger to ambitious goals. The company's visionary founder, Mr. Desmond Chow, a former university lecturer turned crawfish farmer, has embraced the transformative potential of crawfish as an alternative food source. Recognising the global urgency for food security, he placed Singapore Crawfish at the forefront of the aquaculture revolution, aiming to address challenges that transcend borders and offer a lifeline to vulnerable populations worldwide. The company's pioneering approach to rearing the Cherax Quadricarinatus, a larger and more nutritious crawfish species, exemplifies its commitment to sustainable practices. With a focus on providing fresh, premium crawfish to consumers both worldwide, Singapore Crawfish sets new standards for quality and nutritional value.

Since its inception in 2018, Singapore Crawfish has been dedicated to finding innovative solutions for traditional crawfish farming challenges. After rigorous research and experimentation, the company unveiled the Auto Birthing System (ABS) in 2020. This revolutionary modular system redefines crawfish fries production, offering a cost-efficient, space-effective, and highly maintainable approach. ABS, with its patent-pending technology, can significantly improve the survival rate of the crawfishes, thus revolutionising global aquaculture practices.

Another product of Singapore Crawfish's ingenuity is its proprietary Container Recirculating Aquaculture System (CRAS), a "plug and play" innovation designed to address the limitations of traditional recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS). CRAS not only mitigates the high costs, immobility, and maintenance challenges associated with conventional RAS, but it also thrives in both indoor and outdoor settings. By enhancing survival, growth, and reproduction rates of crawfishes, CRAS underscores Singapore Crawfish's commitment to sustainable and profitable aquaculture.

In its pursuit of enhancing farmers' prosperity, Singapore Crawfish has ingeniously elevated the traditional practice of cultivating crawfish amidst paddy fields, known as rice-fish farming. Introducing an innovative concept known as Multi-Cropping, the company empowers farmers to cultivate up to three distinct crops simultaneously within a single production cycle—rice, fish, and crawfish. By seamlessly integrating crawfish and fish cultivation into traditional paddy fields, this approach maximises resource utilisation, reduces pesticide reliance, and stimulates rice crop growth.

For farmers who adopt Multi-Cropping techniques and technologies from Singapore Crawfish could increase their incomes by 400%. Singapore Crawfish will also buy back the crawfish reared by the farmers so they don't have to worry about distribution. This collaboration holds the promise of transforming Thailand's agricultural landscape and reinforcing its position as a leader in sustainable farming practices.

Singapore Crawfish's visionary spirit extends to community empowerment. Through strategic partnerships with governments and local farmers in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Cambodia, the company's Multi-Cropping technique has unlocked a new realm of possibilities. Now Singapore Crawfish is poised to initiate collaboration with the Thai government to usher in a new era of agricultural innovation. The company envisions a partnership where the government provides lands, funding, or loans, while Singapore Crawfish contributes its state-of-the-art technologies to empower Thai farmers.

The company's ambitious vision extends beyond technological innovation. Singapore Crawfish is actively seeking franchisees who share its commitment to sustainable aquaculture. Operating under a franchise model akin to globally recognised brands, investors have the opportunity to invest in hatcheries, or join forces with Singapore Crawfish to enjoy the benefits of their regional profits.

"My vision is to have our technologically-advanced crawfish farm and hatchery franchised globally", said Desmond Chow, Founder and CEO.  "There is no rocket science to rearing crawfishes; it's really just about learning the right techniques and having the right technologies in place. Anyone can be taught to do this. Eventually through educating others about the profitability of rearing crawfishes, the sustainability of our techniques and the effectiveness of our cutting-edge technology from hatchery to farm, we hope to provide food for people all around the world, and perhaps even end world food poverty".

About Singapore Crawfish

Singapore Crawfish was born from an unexpected discovery. From what was initially intended as a class research project for his students, Founder Desmond Chow determined after nine months of research that one of the most profitable livestock to rear and sell was a small and unassuming crustacean - the crawfish. 

Opening its first farm in Singapore in 2018 at Sungei Tengah, the team at Singapore Crawfish went on to cultivate and rear their very first batch of crawfishes. Today, Singapore Crawfish has invented a proprietary hatchery technique and technology that is unparalleled in the industry that even the top crawfish companies and farms from China and US have consulted with them. 

With sustainability being a guiding value that is both fundamental and necessary to the company, Singapore Crawfish remains committed to providing the freshest live crawfish to their customers through the most responsible and sustainable methods of production, while striving towards becoming the leading live crawfish supplier advocating for the crawfish as a key source of protein in the food culture across Asia.
