Hi,
Just chatting to the factory that makes my koi food.
The price of raw materials is just going mad. Fish meal for example has gone up twice this month and now stands at over R9,000 per ton. Compare this to a price of R3,500 per ton about 3 - 4 years ago.
It seem strange as the demand for many things is falling with the world economic crises in full swing.
I also see the rand / yen exchange rate is half that from Septemner last year. This will make imported foods very expensive and my big worry - what is going to happen to the cost of Japanese koi?
