A meeting by FISH4ACP, a global initiative aimed at developing the fish value chain, in collaboration with the Department of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources of Zimbabwe, has resulted in a strategy to boost tilapia production to 20,000 tonnes annually. This initiative seeks to empower women, youth, and marginalized groups in the sector, targeting small-scale farmers to increase their earnings from $1.2 million to $60 million. The plan emphasizes sustainable aquaculture, without causing environmental harm or water pollution. It includes measures such as improving inputs, promoting good practices, and supporting cold chain and marketing. The initiative also focuses on reducing feed costs through alternative ingredients and strengthening regulatory frameworks for social and environmental improvements.
