Trout Valley LLC

We're not a farm. We're a technology you can reproduce

Trout Valley is a science-and-technology company based at the Smart Tech Industry industrial park in the Poltava region. Our core focus is developing and testing technologies for the incubation and grow-out of stocking material in recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS).

We're not just a fingerling supplier — we're a science-and-technology partner for operations that want to build efficient, sustainable trout production in Ukraine.

We're building — a network of standardized trout production

Grow-out isn't an art. It's a reproducible technology.

Incubation & R&D

In-house roe incubation, grow-out to smolt, and the development of feeding protocols in the RAS facilities of the STI Park.

Partner farms

Grow-out to a single standard and feeding protocol, under our supervision at every stage.

Centralized processing

Harvest, same-day processing, and a finished product with a traceability code for every batch.

Our mission

Scientifically grounded
Technologically predictable
Commercially attractive

To make Ukrainian trout production scientifically grounded, technologically predictable, and commercially attractive — for every partner operation.

Why work with us

  • 01

    Science that works in practice

    We don't just research — we turn research results into concrete feeding protocols. Every feeding map is tested in our own RAS conditions before it reaches a partner farm.


  • 02

    Stocking material with verified genetics

    We supply partners not just with fingerlings, but with genetically verified stocking material with predictable growth and survival characteristics. Less uncertainty — more profit.


  • 03

    A partnership, not just a supply deal

    We buy back all the fish from our partners under a set formula (cost + margin). You grow to our standards — we take on market risk, processing, and sales.

At the heart of our work is a team of specialists who value science and a genuine love for their craft in equal measure. Researchers, technologists, engineers — people who walk the path from lab to production floor every day and know every stage from the inside.

Our expertise spans the entire trout-processing chain. We know how to preserve the maximum benefit in the product, work skillfully with bioactive compounds, natural freshness-preservation methods, and innovative solutions — without ever losing sight of the main thing: exactly what ends up on your table.

The technology unit drives modern automation — precise, efficient, and scalable. And turning fish-production by-products into value-added products is our contribution to a responsible attitude toward resources and the environment. We accompany every project from the first idea to launch. Because for us, quality isn't a standard on paper — it's a culture we build every day.

    Our RAS system was developed by NIRAS, a Danish engineering firm. Together we're building a system in which the quality of stocking material is predictable, not a matter of chance.
