Four months and you can see your money flow in.

This is how long it will take for you once you venture into the Prawn farming industry.

According to the Fisheries Department, Prawns are a four month crop and under the Prawn Farmers Government Assistance Program farmers will only have to fork out one third of the total cost needed for starting.

The success of a prawn farm depends on having a clean water supply and proper management.

The Industry according to Interim Agriculture Minister Joketani Cokanasiga it is a million dollar industry that people should venture into.
