Adamawa to engage in large scale fish farming
The Adamawa State
government has engaged an Indian company, MARITECH, to carry out
feasibility study on the aquaculture situation in the state. Trevor
Bullen, the managing director of Adamawa Agricultural Development and
Investment Limited, made this known in Yola on Tuesday. Mr. Bullen said
that the study was to develop a vision document for the growth of fish
farming.
According to him, the programme also includes the development
of feed mill for the production of low cost fish feed for farmers. “The
production of low cost fish feed will increase the profit margins for
fish farmers,” he added. Mr. Bullen explained that about 19,000 farmers
would be impacted by the programme, which would also encourage the
production of various species of fish.
