Introduction
The paper contains the entry plan for the Aquaponics farming in Russia. Aquaponics involves combination of growing plants without soil and fish farming. The technology is used to acquire solution of minerals, involving nitrogen fixing bacteria, from aquaculture bi-products. This type of farming is characterized of higher yield than the ordinary farming.
Make a basic market entry plan for Aquaponics in Russia
A basic market entry plan for Aquaponics must advocate for a well-balanced agriculture system that will do away with high costs of feeding, purchasing supplements and controlling the waste management. It ensures that high quality fish and fresh vegetables. The entry must apply modern technology that steers towards a better Aquaponics.
The basic entry plan must address the following:
RESOURCES
Determine the magnitude of the resources that are needed to launch a new Aquaponics farm. The technical skills needed and the cost of managing the farm must be estimated. There must be funds allocated for marketing the products from the Aquaponics to the consumers.
Agriculture solar Aquaponics system must be used as it guarantees an independent energy supply and increases productivity of the Aquaponics.
RECIRCULATION SYSTEMS
It consists of greenhouses which are aligned in order and they are separated by the help of the storage areas. A modern recirculation system must be monitored with a computer that will gather data day in, day out of all the operations. The computer also helps to regulate the amount of temperature and humidity by the help of coolers. It is also helpful in controlling the irradiation inside the greenhouse.

BARRIERS
A farmer must confirm the existence of any legal barriers that might affect his entry in the Aquaponics business. One must investigate on the level of tariffs to avoid high taxation rates. Another entry barrier of Aquaponics is greater level of investment and planning. This kind of farming requires more capital to plan and invest in than the regular gardening farming. Another barrier is the cold temperature in Russia especially during the winter season. This is because human pathogens, and psychrotrophic and psychrophilic bacteria inhibits in cold temperature.
