Who We Are
At Tambanokano Aqua Farm, we believe in transforming lives through sustainable aquaculture. Born from the heart of the Philippines' fishing communities, we are on a mission to create a thriving ecosystem that empowers fishermen, protects the planet, and delivers premium-quality mud crabs from farm to table.
Our journey started with a vision: to tackle the challenges faced by coastal families like Ivan's, whose father left behind his boat and community in search of a better livelihood. Ivan’s story is not unique—and that’s why we set out to rewrite the narrative for fishermen and their families.
We innovate with purpose. Our modular Crab Condominiums and recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) redefine traditional mud crab farming. By reducing risks from pollutants and diseases, we achieve shorter harvest cycles—just 15-20 days—while promoting sustainable farming practices that can scale to any location or size.
Our mission is to revolutionize the mud crab industry through sustainable aquaculture practices, innovative technologies, and community empowerment. We are committed to producing premium-quality mud crabs while preserving marine ecosystems, creating sustainable livelihoods for coastal communities, and meeting global seafood demand responsibly. Through our dedication to excellence, environmental stewardship, and social responsibility, we aim to set new standards in aquaculture, ensuring a sustainable future for both the industry and the communities
To be the leading sustainable aquaculture enterprise in the Philippines, revolutionizing the mud crab industry through innovative farming practices while empowering coastal communities and preserving marine ecosystems.
We envision a world where no family is left behind. Through sustainable aquaculture, we aim to bridge the $1.8 billion supply gap in Asia’s crab market while fostering income opportunities for vulnerable fishing communities.
By 2027, our goal is to establish 5,000 Crab Condominiums, impacting thousands of families and securing a sustainable supply of premium mud crabs for restaurants, hotels, and seafood enthusiasts.
