What drove us into integrated commercial
aquaculture?
• Food and nutritional insecurity.
• Cash income generation
• Availability of raw materials.
• Demand
•
Constrains to sustainable commercial
aquaculture
Expensive, inaccessible, low quality fish feeds.
•
Lack of modern technology.
•
Misconceptions about aquaculture.

•
Poor infrastructural development .
•
Climate changes
……………..Constrains
•
Lack multiple Fishery training institutions.
•

universities and production sector.
For aquaculture in Uganda to be successful, the
following assumptions must hold true:

 Availability of economically viable technologies.
 Business incubation and mentorship of youth.
 Youth funds by government and other agencies.
 Model farms.
 Fishery enhancement /restocking the large water bodies.
 Private investors interested and willing to invest in
aquaculture.
……………..assumptions
 The government and its agencies to support aquaculture
development by shaping policies that;
• provide infrastructure, adequate funding, farm credit and
direct services.
• provide incentives and are willing to work in joint cooperation
with the aquaculture farmers to support training and on-farm
demonstrations.
