Key challenges
  • Massive dependence on imports of frozen fish.
  • Quality fingerlings and aquaculture feed still rare and costly.
  • Technical mastery of intensive production (ponds, cages, recirculation) yet to be spread.
  • Marketing of fresh fish limited by cold-chain logistics.
  • Marine and inland fishing (FH02–FH03): 'Proposed' value chains, to be validated with sector professionals.
What XP-NOVA brings
  • Complete engineering of aquaculture farms: hatchery, grow-out, processing.
  • Structuring the supply of fingerlings and feed.
  • Bankable business models adapted to aquaculture cycles.
  • Connecting producers to urban markets via the cold chain.
