Purchase Valuation Support
A confidential, evidence-based assessment of biosecurity and production systems — built to support acquisition decisions with clearer risk visibility.
Talk to Genics about your acquisition timeline
Confidence comes from clarity, not optimism
Buying an existing shrimp farm can look straightforward on paper until operational reality, pathogen exposure pathways, or biosecurity gaps start affecting performance, cost, and timeline. Genics’ Due Dilligence Assessment is designed to help buyers and investors understand what they’re really buying: how the farm is set up, where risk may sit, and what improvements may be required to increase productivity and protect shareholder value long-term.
Our team applies a practical, evidence-based lens to biosecurity and production systems, drawing on the same holistic approach used in Genics biosecurity benchmark audits and response planning, including workflows, systems design, farm layout, surveillance readiness, and operational practices.
What the Genics Due Diligence Assessment Provides
This is a pre-purchase risk and readiness assessment tailored to shrimp production systems. We identify where risk may affect valuation, post-acquisition capex planning, operating costs, and speed to stable production.
1) Risk visibility
Risk register for acquisition decisions
A practical summary of key risks, likely impacts, and priority actions to support decision-making.
Pathogen incursion and spread risk assessment
Review of likely entry points, internal spread pathways, and control vulnerabilities.
Confidential assessment designed for stakeholders
Structured outputs suitable for internal decision-makers, investors, and lenders.
2) Biosecurity and operational systems review
Biosecurity analysis mapped to real movement and input scenarios
Includes people, vehicles, water, feed, stock movements, contractors, and critical workflows.
Operational readiness review
Staff practices, compliance, training, and emergency response preparedness.
Pathogen testing protocol review
What’s currently tested, how often, and what happens after a result, including escalation and response logic.
3) Infrastructure, layout, and production system review
Systems design and workflow design review
Evaluate whether operating design supports biosecurity and production outcomes in practice.
Infrastructure and layout assessment (where risk hides in plain sight)
Site layout, traffic flow, water pathways, separation, treatment points, and other practical risk factors.
Production-impact observations relevant to valuation
Identify issues likely to affect consistency, survivability, output, or turnaround time.
Investment guidance with risk justification
Prioritised improvement opportunities so capital is allocated where it has the biggest financial imact.
Confidential biosecurity benchmark audits
Genics will work closely with you to establish customised biosecurity benchmarks:
- Genics performs a confidential audit of your current biosecurity protocols
- We’ll provide an evidence based tailored Confidential Biosecurity Benchmark Audit Report detailing any gaps in your farm biosecurity
- We’ll provide the solutions and consulting services you need to reduce the risk of biosecurity breaches
Delivering your biosecurity response plan
As part of our biosecurity consultancy, Genics will work with you to create a biosecurity framework and response plan:
- The plan intersects with your confidential biosecurity benchmark audit report
- It outlines what systems and protocols are needed to avoid a breach, and what additional emergency measures are recommended in the unlikely scenario a biosecurity breach occurs
- Your biosecurity framework and response plan is a dynamic framework that will be updated as new technology and improved systems are developed
