about Us
Our Story
Vera Bella Enterprises Limited Co. is a spin-off company that manufactures the award-winning Daerrys Tilapia Ice Cream. The company addresses two major challenges: the declining seafood consumption among children and the low market value of tilapia as a commodity. Through value-adding and aquaculture innovation, the enterprise helps tilapia farmers generate higher income and more sustainable livelihood opportunities. By transforming tilapia into a nutritious and enjoyable product, Daerrys Tilapia Ice Cream allows children and even individuals who do not normally eat fish to enjoy a protein-rich dessert that promotes better nutrition in a fun and innovative way.

The
Tilapia is one of the most abundant and accessible aquaculture resources in many developing countries. However, many fish farmers continue to experience unstable income due to low-value raw fish selling prices and limited opportunities for value-added processing.
At the same time, declining seafood consumption among children contributes to nutritional challenges and limits access to protein-rich diets.
