Our approach combines local field experience with proven aquaculture practices to help farmers achieve consistent yields, reduce losses, and build profitable fish farming businesses.

What is Fish farming (Aquaculture)?

Fish farming, also known as aquaculture, involves raising fish in controlled ponds, tanks, or cages under managed conditions.

In fish farming, the farmer controls:

  • Water quality
  • Feeding and nutrition
  • Stocking density
  • Growth monitoring and harvesting cycles

Unlike reliance on wild fishing and unpredictable supply, aquaculture delivers steady, predictable production cycles, making it a reliable source of income and food.

The Fish Farming Gap in Cameroon

Cameroon faces a significant deficit in fish supply.

  • Local fish production averages about 230,000 tons per year
  • National demand is estimated at nearly 500,000 tons annually
  • This creates a supply gap of approximately 270,000 tons each year

To bridge this gap, Cameroon relies heavily on imported frozen fish, increasing costs and supply risks. This gap presents a major opportunity for local fish farming and aquaculture development.
