Food production systems optimization · Ghana
Systems that make food production pay.
Bluegen Consult designs tailor-made solutions for agriculture, horticulture and aquaculture operations at every point of the value chain. Bluegen Manager is our first digital product — built from years of running aquaculture in Ghana.
Consulting across the value chain
We work with producers, processors and cooperatives to design the systems, the numbers and the day-to-day routines that keep an operation profitable.
Agriculture
Production planning, input logistics and cost control for crop and livestock operations.
Aquaculture
Hatchery to grow-out: pond design, feeding regimes, water quality and cycle profitability.
Horticulture
Yield optimization, post-harvest handling and route-to-market systems for fresh produce.
Most farms run on paper and guesswork.
Weigh-ins live in a notebook. Feed is ordered by feel. Costs surface only after the cycle is sold, when nothing can be changed. Losses are found late — a pond under-fed for weeks, a water excursion nobody logged, a buyer price that never covered the feed bill.
Bluegen Manager closes that gap: every pond, every kilo, every cedi, recorded on the phone in the farmer's hand and turned into numbers he can act on the same week.
Bluegen Manager
Run your catfish farm from your phone.
An installable app for Android and iOS. Add it to the home screen, use it at the pond with no signal, and keep the whole operation in one place.
Production & biology
Ponds, cycles and weekly weigh-ins. Live biomass, average weight, FCR, SGR, survival and stocking-density status per pond.
Feed control
Purchases, bag stock on hand vs physical count, variance, average cost per kg, reorder points and low-stock warnings.
Water quality
AM/PM readings for DO, temperature, pH, ammonia and nitrite with excursion detection and dashboard alerts.
Costs & P&L
Nine cost centres, labour, equipment and inputs — rolled into cost per kg biomass and per-cycle profitability.
Trade
Suppliers, off-takers and vets in one contact book. Purchase orders and sale offers over WhatsApp, SMS or email.
Reports & export
KPI charts, per-cycle P&L, cash flow, lot traceability, stock-ledger reconciliation and Excel export.
Cycle planning
Know the bags, the cost and the margin before you stock.
Enter fish count, target weight and expected mortality. The planner projects six stages from fingerling to finisher with editable SGR, FCR, pellet and cost assumptions — then returns exactly what the cycle needs.
- Bags of feed and feed cost per stage
- Cycle length and projected harvest weight
- Projected margin at your expected farm-gate price
- Feed-stock and pond-capacity warnings
- Save scenarios, export to Excel, create the cycle in one tap
- Plan versus actual comparison as the cycle runs
Trade
Your market, one tap away.
Keep suppliers, off-takers and vets in one contact book. Raise purchase orders and sale offers over WhatsApp, SMS or email, compare returned quotes side by side, and share the farm's GPS location so buyers and vets can find you.
Marking an order delivered updates feed and input stock and posts the expense automatically — no double entry.
Why it's different
Offline-first
A PWA you add to the home screen. It works at the pond with no signal and keeps data on the device.
Domain-correct math
FCR, SGR, survival, stocking density and cost per kg are computed exactly as the source production workbooks do.
Team access control
Admin approval, roles, per-feature toggles and read-only worker accounts — something a spreadsheet cannot do.
Ghana-localised
GHS, local pellet sizes, local survival and SGR stage tables, with local suppliers, off-takers and vets pre-loaded.
Honest today: farm data is stored per device, with multi-device cloud sync as the next major release — the cloud currently handles sign-in and access control only. Defaults are GHS and Ghana-specific, and there is no in-app billing yet.
Ways to work with us
Subscription tiers land with cloud sync. Until then, per-device licensing and onboarding services are available now.

About Bluegen Consult
Bluegen Consult is a Ghanaian consultancy specializing in food production systems optimization. We design tailor-made solutions for agriculture, horticulture and aquaculture businesses operating along all points of the value chain.
Bluegen Manager grew out of that work — built from a real production workbook in active use on Ghanaian catfish farms, with calculations validated against the source planning models. Beyond the software, we run done-for-you cycle planning and profitability reporting for farms that would rather have the analysis delivered.
