Campaign Story

There’s a moment every fish farmer knows too well — standing at the edge of a pond at dawn, staring at the water, hoping the fish survived the night. Oxygen drops when the temperature changes, fish suffocate silently, and entire harvests can vanish before the sun even rises. For years, small farmers across Indonesia have lived through this heartbreak with no affordable solution.

Banoo started with that moment.

Our team spent months visiting villages, sitting by ponds, listening to farmers talk about rising feed costs, unpredictable harvests, and how a single bad cycle can put their whole family at risk. These weren’t people who lacked knowledge or effort — they simply lacked access to the kind of technology big aquaculture corporations use every day.

So we built Banoo differently.

Not as a high-end system that farmers could never afford, but as a compact, smart aeration device designed specifically for low-income aquaculture communities. Something lightweight, solar-powered, and intuitive — something a farmer could set up in minutes, and trust for years.

Banoo’s Microbubble Generator enriches pond oxygen at deeper levels than traditional aerators, uses much less energy, and pairs with a simple mobile app that shows real-time pond conditions. But technology alone wasn’t enough — what farmers needed was security. A sense that their harvest wasn’t gambling, but planning.

The results changed lives faster than we expected.

Farmers who once lost entire harvests during heat waves suddenly saw consistent growth. Ponds that struggled with low oxygen bounced back. Families who depended on a single harvest found new stability. Banoo didn’t just improve the pond — it restored confidence.

And now, we’re here on JustStartUP because scaling this impact requires support from people who believe in fair, sustainable innovation.

Your backing doesn’t just fund more devices.
It funds opportunity — more ponds stabilized, more families protected from loss, more young farmers choosing to stay and build instead of leaving their villages behind.

Every contribution brings oxygen where it’s needed most —
to the ponds, to the farmers, to the future of aquaculture.

Banoo is not just solving a problem.
It is rewriting the story of small-scale farming, one pond at a time.
