ELLAS is based on one of the oldest Crimean fish farms. It’s Kolkhos n.a. Krymskih Partisan in Portovoe village. The fish farm was founded in 1927 and became successful after the North-Crimean canal had been built in 1971. About 500 ha of ponds were filled with fresh water from the Dnieper River for carp breeding. The company had become one of the leading farms in the region.
Over the past 30 years, the farm team kept the farm going, but the lack of investment and poor strategy reduced chances for development. Moreover the cultivation of freshwater fish became impossible after the North-Crimean canal had been closed in 2014.
ELLAS is a reliable investor that started the development of the base for aquacultural production. Now we use pumping stations to get water directly from the Black sea. They lift water to required height therefrom it goes to drainage canals and further fills all the 520 ha of ponds.
