Investing in Zero Toxicity
The change outlined above requires
investment in the following components;
-- Feed Mill
-- HQSM has completed its feasibility
study for a China based feed
mill which will manufacture patented feed formulations meeting
its
exacting standards of zero toxin feed;
-- This feed mill will use supplements
manufactured by its own
nutraceutical processing facility (acquired last August for the
price of USD 20 million) able to produce the nutrients which are
essential additives;
-- The technology partnership with American River Nutrition gives
HQSM access to
the latest American technologies in the formulation
and manufacture of feed additives;
-- Marketing and Distribution
-- HQSM intends to acquire the distribution capabilities in the
United States and Europe enabling the sale of products to major
customers usually
reliant on intermediaries to source its
products;
-- HQSM intends to sensitize
the public through a multi-pronged
marketing campaign highlighting the importance of zero
-toxicity
and sustainability;
-- Organic Fish Farming
-- HQSM intends to establish
segregated certified organic farming and
processing facilities in response to strong US
and European demand
for organic products;
-- Nutraceutical products development
-- Nutraceutical manufacturing in China currently produces four
products which are
sold through a direct sales and other networks

the need for additional information about acrylamide

consider potential human health concerns. FPA agrees with the cautionary

how HQSM is shaping the future of
aquaculture and aquatic products. Consumers want superior product
, like
coffee consumers are prepared to pay a premium for branded differentiated
products, Tilapia
consumers deserve and want the best. HQSM is
seizing the opportunity by;
-- Avoiding hormones
during production (no hormones in Tilapia fry

-- Natural food additives reducing
reliance on antibiotics to maintain
farmed fish health;
-- Elimination of fishmeal in feed
to avoid the concentration of Ocean
pollutants such as heavy metals;
-- Farming using bottom
feeding and predator fish which manage naturally
the pond environment without the need for chemical
additives;
-- Toxin free waste water from ponds becomes a quality nutrient rich
fertilizer
for neighbouring plants;
-- Toxin free Tilapia byproducts after filleting operations becomes a
toxin free quality additive for other fish farming operations for shrimp
and other species
