Depends on how the contracts are designed. CA (+ partner) as the technology provider will get a small percentage of future profits. CA (+ partner) as financier will get a much bigger piece of the pie. It could be anywhere between 5% and 50% depending on how much they charge the farmers for the technology.

I tried to look up how many ponds of shrimp farming China has. It's hard to say and I couldn't find it. But it could be over half a million hectares. Which means the average output is something like 2,000 kg/ha. The difference is simply that big between non-intensive shrimp farming and super-intensive shrimp farming (ODRAS at 120,000 kg/ha). The output could even be as low as 200 kg/ha for mangroves or whatever. Don't ask me why.

The total output for China is roughly 500,000 MT, down from a million MT. The farmers are struggling for sure.
