Budget Estimate (AI):

$1,000,000 – $7,500,000

The budget for this opportunity is difficult to estimate because the document does not provide specific information about the quantity of walleye required or the price per unit. However, considering the USDA's food programs and the requirement for 100% domestic walleye, the budget could be substantial. Assuming an average price per pound of $10-15 and an estimated annual demand of 100,000-500,000 pounds, the total budget could range from $1-7.5 million per year. This is a rough estimate and may vary depending on several factors, including the actual demand, competition, and production costs.
