Aquaculture, or fish farming is a growing industry in Kenya. There is high demand for fish because of the population growth, availability of water resources and government plans to increase production and recognition of the potential for development of this sector. Although there is huge potential, the fish supplies only meet a small portion of the total fish production. The common species being farmed at a small scale is Nile tilapia and Africa catfish.
While there is huge potential for fish farming, there are challenges experienced by the farmer such as limited access to quality inputs, knowledge, and markets.
@JacobsLadder_A and @OfficialMakueni have embarked on this journey to ensure that the youth are skilled, address the challenges that the sector faces and assist them to tap into the potential of the industry and create sustainable employment opportunities for themselves. Overall, aquaculture has the potential to be a major contributor to food security, income generation, and rural development in Kenya.
This last week, the selected cohort 1 is seen undergoing a 14-day aquaculture technical and management training. The training which is on-going and currently on day 7 is being conducted by Faith Mumo - an Aquaculturist and one of the rising stars in Makueni and the County Fisheries department. The training was officiated by Co-Founder of Jacob's Ladder Africa - Marceline Obuya and the County Officials on 5th March 2023.
