Aquaculture Export Leads and Market Research

# International Buyer Lead Generation & Export Market Research – Aquaculture Industry

## About the Company

Bhuvan Biologicals is an Indian aquaculture products company engaged in the development and supply of aquaculture solutions for fish and shrimp farming.

Our product portfolio includes aquaculture probiotics, feed supplements, minerals, water-quality management products, pond management products, growth and nutritional supplements, and other solutions used in fish and shrimp culture.

We currently have an established presence in the Indian aquaculture market and are looking to expand our international distribution network.

## Project Objective

We are looking for an experienced freelancer to assist us in identifying and developing genuine international business opportunities for our aquaculture products.

This is not a simple database-building or bulk lead-generation project.

We are specifically looking for someone who can research international aquaculture markets, identify genuine importers/distributors, find relevant decision-makers, qualify prospects and support initial outreach.

## Key Responsibilities

The selected freelancer will be responsible for:

* Researching potential export markets for aquaculture products.
* Identifying aquaculture importers, distributors, wholesalers and farm-input companies.
* Identifying distributors dealing with fish/shrimp feed, probiotics, minerals, feed supplements and related aquaculture products.
* Finding relevant decision-makers within these organisations.
* Collecting verified business contact information.
* Researching the products/brands currently handled by prospective distributors.
* Identifying companies already importing similar products.
* Categorising prospects based on their potential relevance.
* Preparing structured buyer databases.
* Supporting personalised email and LinkedIn outreach.
* Tracking responses and follow-ups.
* Identifying genuine expressions of interest and potential distributor opportunities.
* Assisting in scheduling meetings with interested buyers/distributors.

## Information Required for Every Lead

Each lead should preferably contain:

* Company Name
* Country
* Website
* Business Category
* Contact Person
* Designation
* Verified Business Email
* Phone/WhatsApp, where publicly available
* LinkedIn Profile
* Products/Brands Handled
* Aquaculture Segment Served
* Import/Distribution Activity
* Reason the company is relevant to Bhuvan Biologicals
* Lead Priority: High / Medium / Low
* Source of Information

We are interested in QUALITY rather than simply receiving a very large quantity of unverified contacts.

Aquaculture veterinary/product companies
Large aquaculture farms/groups with distribution networks

## Preferred Markets

The freelancer may also recommend additional markets based on research.

## Ideal Candidate

We would particularly like to work with someone who has experience in one or more of the following areas:

* International B2B Lead Generation
* Export Market Research
* Importer/Distributor Research
* Aquaculture Industry
* Agriculture/Animal Health
* International Sales
* LinkedIn Prospecting
* Email Outreach
* Import/Export Databases
* Distributor Appointment

Previous experience generating international buyers for Indian manufacturers/exporters will be highly preferred.

## Initial Assignment

This project will begin as a paid pilot assignment.

The selected freelancer will initially be asked to research one target market and provide a limited number of highly qualified prospects.

Based on the quality of the research and leads generated, the engagement may be extended into a longer-term international business-development role.

## When Applying

Please include:

1. Your previous experience in international buyer/importer lead generation.
2. Industries and countries you have worked with.
3. Lead-generation tools/databases you normally use.
4. An example of the information you would provide for each buyer.
5. How you verify that an importer/distributor is genuine.
6. Your suggested strategy for finding international distributors for aquaculture products.
7. Your proposed cost for an initial pilot project.

Please do not apply if your service consists primarily of supplying generic or scraped email databases.

We are interested in building a long-term relationship with the right professional if the initial assignment delivers good results.
