Aqua Green and ProjectsUsing aquaculture production to alleviate poverty and ensure rural development



Aqua Green and Projects Agricultural Primary co-operative helps to improve the livelihoods of the community it operates in through catfish farming and production. It focuses on catfish as it can grow in high densities and is less expensive to farm. The fish is marketed and sold to the local community including middle class and immigrant customers.
Its catfish farming activities are integrated with vegetable farming (Aquaponics). The catfish waste produced is also an input to its vegetable growing.
