In 🇳🇦 and 🇿🇦, the focus is on high-end seafood. This market, in particular, has been hard hit during the COVID pandemic. Export trade growth in this sector has the potential to alleviate poverty, as small-scale producers in rural areas have the opportunity to increase their trade

Fishing is one of Namibia’s top industries, contributing about 3% of GDP since 2007 & about 20 % of export earnings. Mariculture – primarily oysters – is a market ripe for expansion in this country. #UKinNamibia #MarineFarming #TFSA #Fisheries #AquacultureDevelopment

Mozambique’s climatic conditions are favourable to the development of aquaculture. The country is home to a wide variety of fish, in particular Tilapia, which can be farmed & thus help to address the country’s nutritional challenges and provide exports for regional markets.

Africa has significant economic growth potential for freshwater & marine aquaculture, which could contribute to food security & feed the region's rapidly growing population. Stay tuned! #Aquaculture #MarineFarming #TFSA #Fisheries #AquacultureDevelopment

This month we look at emerging trends in the aquaculture sector and share some of the work we have been doing on the ground. Visit tfsouthernafrica.org/sectors… #Aquaculture #MarineFarming #TFSA #Fisheries #AquacultureDevelopment
