A Riverstone fish farm has pivoted its business to creating a new fertiliser product and moved to accept cryptocurrency all within a few years.

River Stone Fish Farm’s Emil Isaac, a Riverstone local who helped fellow engineer Joseph Ayoub develop the business, said there were synergies between the Qoin cryptocurrency and the duo’s fish farming business.

A Sydney fish farm is making the most of a crappy situation and now its customers in the Middle East hope to make the desert bloom.

With a big order from United Arab Emirates’ Desert Group, northwestern Sydney-based barramundi monger River Stone Fish Farm has pivoted to selling liquid fertiliser to help the Arabian Desert bloom.

“We are now at the point where we can export and, if we need to, we can scale up to twice the volume in three weeks,” marketing manager Emil Isaac said.

The fertiliser is made by collecting fish excrement at the farm facility in Riverstone, NSW.

“The feed goes through the gut of the fish and naturally produces the same bacteria and microorganisms that fertile soils have inside them,” Mr Isaac said.
