🐟 Quality fish seed is the foundation of a thriving aquaculture sector.

At #AFSF2026, Dr Charles Iyangbe, WorldFish Nigeria Country Representative, highlighted the need to invest in the commercialization of fish seed production across Africa.

Reliable access to quality seed can help farmers scale, improve productivity and meet growing demand for aquatic foods while stronger regional collaboration and easier cross-border movement can open new opportunities.

At #AFSF2026, Suzanne Njeri Kuria of AWFBEK shared her journey as a fish farmer and called for a shift in how we see farmers: not simply as beneficiaries, but as investors who need access to finance, markets, knowledge and technology.

For Africa’s aquatic food systems to thrive, women and youth must have the opportunity to own, add value and lead.
