Establishment of production facilities in Africa
Africa is the continent with the fastest growing population in the world. Africa's population could exceed 1.7 billion by 2030 and reach 2.5 billion by 2050.
Africa produces about 7 million tons of marine fish per year. With expected population growth, African demand for fish will increase to 13 million tons by 2030 and 19 million tons by 2050.
Improved fishing and catch processing techniques could provide an additional 1.5-2 million tons of fish and seafood by 2030. However, this still leaves a significant deficit that can be covered by large-scale mariculture development. It is expected that aquaculture development could yield an additional 2 to 4 million tons of fish per year.
Investing in aquaculture in Africa is not just a financial opportunity, but a contribution to solving global problems.
