Ordering ACH's Premium Craylings
Minimum orders: We sell in batches of 20,000 craylings, which is the standard number for stocking one 20 x 50 metres (22 x 54 yards) pond. As a rule, we request all buyers to place written orders at least four (4) weeks prior to their requested delivery as craylings are typically ‘cultured to order’.
Volume Discount Pricing: Typically, large orders (e.g. in excess of 100,000 craylings) will qualify for volume discount. Note that fully-paid advanced orders (i.e. 6 to 12 months in advance) will qualify for volume discount. Contact us for details.
Important:
By law, the sale of craylings is limited to permit holders only. Grow-out farmers holding a current license are welcome to order using the ordering form below. We advise all other applicants to approach their respective authorities for a relevant permit.
