Do you think that the government investing in fish farming will attract farmers to seek employment in that industry?
BACKGROUND
According to an article
published in the New Vision on 25th July 2014, at least 56 fish ponds in
Adjumani district have been abandoned by the farmers due to hardship in
acquiring fingerlings and fish feeds.
The government in partnership
with Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) has launched a project to promote
fish farming in West Nile and northern regions. The targeted districts are
Adjumani, Arua, Gulu, Lira and Soroti, and the project will cost 1.05 billion
shillings.
Mr
Abdul Aziz, an aquaculture specialist, said that the hatcheries would have the
capacity to produce two million fingerlings (young fish) of tilapia and cat
fish and each young fish would be sold at Shs 3,000 to farmers.
The plan is for the project to
allow fish farmers to rehabilitate and stock their fish ponds because
fingerlings will be sold at affordable prices to the farmers.
