One of Agronomics' investments , BlueNalu, has today announced its strategy for commercialization and facility designs for large-scale production of cell-based seafoods. The article published today above is worth a read . Think back a number of years to when TESLA was in its formative years with a new concept of mass production of electric vehicles intended to disrupt the vehicle industry . BlueNalu has the potential disrupt the seafood industry in a similar way.

"BlueNalu has created a five-phase commercialization strategy that starts with R&D and small-scale pilot testing, evolves to a phase that enables market research testing, and culminates in food facilities that are 150,000 sq. ft. under roof. It is anticipated that each facility will produce up to 18-million pounds of finished seafood products per year, or about 72 million four-oz seafood fillets or equivalent units per year. BlueNalu is currently entering its first phase of development, producing whole seafood medallions and fillets at pilot-scale. The company plans to introduce products into a test market in two to three years, and break ground on its first large-scale production facility in five years. This production facility will meet Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) guidelines and comply with regulatory requirements determined by the FDA for food production."
"The BlueNalu facilities will each be designed to serve regional population centers, initially focused on serving countries in North America, Asia, and Europe, where there is the greatest current and projected per capita consumption of seafood. The company intends to replicate its initial facility to dozens of locations across the globe, making continual operational enhancements along the way, and selecting varieties of fish, product applications, and marketing channels to meet the needs of each selected region. BlueNalu’s strategy will contribute to a more stable global supply chain for seafood, in a way that supports the health, sustainability and biodiversity of our ocean."

A few years ago this kind of article would have been taken to be an Aprils Fool type spoof. However, slowly , but surely the meat industry and consumers are demanding cleaner food sources . It's happening right now .

"Goldsmiths, University of London, is removing all beef products from sale - and charging a 10p levy on bottled water and single-use plastic cups."

Steady share price increase continues . ANIC is the only UK stock market listed entity enabling investors to invest in the increasingly popular Clean Food sector .Looks like a few more savvy investors climbing aboard . Thought I was talking to myself which is the first sign of madness ....wibble...wibble...

It’s good to see the share price marching upwards today .... word is clearly spreading about ANIC in the investment community .For any readers interested in what’s on offer it must be remembered that Agronomics offers investors the only route via the UK shock market to invest in the clean food sector . This is a sector set for huge growth and the company is managed by a board packed with good reputations and connections in the financial world . Exciting times ahead ....

The clean food revolution is also about clean fish .One of Agronomics seed investments is San Diego based BlueNalu which creates lab- grown clean seafood. A huge market waiting to be captured .The article below is worth a read and mentions BlueNalu , a company with much potential IMHO.

"Like other clean meat companies, BlueNalu extracts cells from fish and then grows the meat in a bioreactor. It’s not just healthier for the ocean, and for the whales, but it’s also healthier for humans, maintains the company; mercury and microplastics are among some of the toxins contained by fish."

"Last month, I had the pleasure of attending the New Harvest conference on Cellular Agriculture in Boston (which was just as hot as graduation day in Oxford), with Anthony Chow representing Agronomics (LON:ANIC). It proved to be a very exciting weekend, and one that highlighted how companies in the space will be able to scale up their production lines using bioreactors not dissimilar to fermenters for dairy, to drive down costs. The $280,000 clean meat beef burger of 2012 created by Mark Post, now co-founder of Mosa Meat, could be down in price to just $10 in a few years."

Informative article about the science and development of cell based seafood at BlueNalu. This is well worth a read . It really shows that massive potential of BlueNalu of which ANIC holds a 2% investment as an early investor. That may sound like a small amount but BlueNalu has the clear potential to be an industry leading company potentially worth billions in the future .(just look at the multi-billion dollar valuation of BeyondMeat when it IPO'd recently )

"As demand for seafood grows with the global population, the existing seafood sources cannot keep up. In addition to animal welfare issues, over fishing hurts the vast and essential biodiversity of our oceans that we all rely on.With cell-based seafood, we can help provide a stable supply of seafood across the world to both reduce stress on the oceans and liberate consumers from the existing price and quality fluctuations"

From the Hardman & Co report , "Investment summary: With the money raised and the new partners on board,
Koovs becomes an exciting way to play the last big world retail market to move
online. The prize, if it gets it right, is a billion-pound company and more. It is
likely to be a bumpy, exciting ride, but investors have the reassurance of a highly
experienced management team in charge, and the backing of two major Indian
corporations straddling both retail and media. "

Joehigashi, you beat me to it by a few minutes lol...........

It looks like the PR machine is coming to life . A big write up today in the Evening Standard business section. Overall , a balanced article and quite bullish . A good read especially for potential new investors .

"Despite the bumpy ride Koovs has all the ingredients ASOS had to succeed long term, he thinks, "I saw a gap in the Indian market."

I will make an effort to attend depending on other commitments

of course, it was an EGM earlier this week not AGM, (my bad)

It is noticeable that a cohort of poster/shareholders are more bullish since attending the AGM and meeting the management to discuss the progress of Koovs. I regret not attending myself. I do appreciate the feedback being posted by Jambon,Putney etc .

It's good to see some steady buying again this morning. Koovs up 6% . I believe Koovs presents a great opportunity for investors in the short,medium and long term based on the size of the Indian population and potential market , increasing spending power of the middle classes and a brand name which is becoming firmly established.

I think the share price was bound to consolidate /slide a little after a 50% rise a few days ago . However , I believe there is a lot of investor interest in this niche food sector which is destined to grow rapidly . Some steady buying this morning just under 11p

"We expect our agreement with Crystal International to prove out, at scale, the considerable improvements in sustainability and cost delivered by our technologies and the multiple ways in which they can be applied in the production of garments. We expect to sign further agreements with leading garment manufacturers during 2019.

I like the confident sounding end to the RNS . Market will hopefully appreciate this company's potential .

I believe Koovs presents a good short, medium and long term buying opportunity . Yes, its a speculative buy but consider the fundamentals which make a sound base for company growth.

-Indian economy GDP growth of approximately 6% and predicted to keep increasing..
-A huge population predicated to overtake China's population in the near future.
-A rapidly increasing middle class with spare cash to spend of fashion items.
-Infrastructure & transportation improvements across India to assist with product delivery.
-Increased internet & mobile phone useage across a growing younger Indian population .
-A management team with experience of retail success.
-Wealthy Indian backers providing financial & managerial support .

Yes, its been a terrible share price decline over the last five years but consider what happened to ASOS from 2003 onwards when the turnaround story began.

Looks promising ......Koovs features in two of the top 10 YouTube most watched advertising videos in India last month. 28 million & 26 million views respectively .

Its good to see the share price showing strength this morning.I still believe that Koovs has the potential to thrive after a traumatic few years since listing. India will very soon have the worlds largest population including an increasing number of middle class with spare cash to spend on fashion items. No Brexit worries over in India .
