Every business longs to earn profit. The shrimp cultivation business offers significant profit, but at the same time, the operational costs and risks are also high.

Previously, you may have set expenses for primary, secondary, tertiary, and other cultivation needs. The budget should serve as your guide for the minimum amount of money you need to have in hand. Emergency funds and insurance should also be taken into consideration.

Aside from mastering cultivation techniques and having a supporting network with similar understanding, financial management is also an important aspect when operating a shrimp cultivation business. One of the ways to achieve this is through proper financial records.

Keeping financial records is an important routine for shrimp cultivation. Having clear records helps you in accounting, monitoring cash flow, evaluating cultivation cycles, and planning for the next ones.

Reminder: Record any kind of transaction!

Every transaction, regardless of its type and amount, is important. Income and expenses in shrimp farms should be recorded as a part of business operations. No expense is too small.

Your records are your control

Use your budget plan as an initial guide and control your expenses along the way to identify which ones are needs versus incidentals. Controls are also implemented by referring to the biggest expense and income, profit/loss conditions, and product categories with the highest cost. Compare it by monitoring recent balance, debts, and receivables to keep your farm finances healthy.
