In Nigeria, the rising cost of food, particularly protein, poses a significant challenge to the population’s well-being. Among the protein sources, fish stands out as a staple in the Nigerian diet. Nigeria faces the dual challenge of rising food costs and dependence on imported frozen fish. This reliance not only strains the economy but also threatens food security and sustainability. With the demand for protein on the rise, it’s imperative to explore sustainable, local solutions to meet these needs.

However, the heavy reliance on imported frozen fish has exacerbated the issue. This begs the question: Why import when we can produce locally? At Aquapet Ventures, we’ve recognized this need and have embarked on a journey to revolutionize Nigeria’s food landscape through Freshwater Brama aquaculture.

However, there’s a compelling solution within reach: At Aquapet Ventures, we’re proud to introduce Freshwater Brama as a sustainable and indigenous alternative that holds the key to transforming Nigeria’s food landscape.
Nigeria’s reliance on imported frozen fish not only strains the economy but also undermines food security and self-sufficiency. The high cost of imports perpetuates a cycle of vulnerability, leaving millions without access to affordable, nutritious protein sources.
Driven by a commitment to sustainability and self-reliance, Aquapet Ventures has spearheaded the development of Freshwater Brama aquaculture. Freshwater Brama, a resilient and fast-growing species, thrives in Nigerian climates with 95%-98% survival rate and presents a viable solution to the nation’s protein needs.

At Aquapet, we’re committed to pioneering sustainable solutions that empower Nigerian communities and enhance food security. Our Freshwater Brama aquaculture initiative represents a testament to our dedication to innovation, environmental stewardship, and social responsibility.

Through extensive research and development Aquapet Ventures has identified Freshwater Brama as a game-changer in the quest for local food production. Freshwater Brama, with its adaptability to local conditions and rapid growth rate, presents an ideal opportunity for aquaculture development in Nigeria. By investing in Freshwater Brama farming, we aim to enhance food security, create employment opportunities, and stimulate economic growth.

We are dedicated to fostering collaboration and innovation in the Nigerian aquaculture industry. In line with this commitment, we’re thrilled to announce we have partnered with fish farmers across Nigeria to harness the potential of Freshwater Brama aquaculture. With its low cost of production, value addition prospects, and marketability as frozen fish, Freshwater Brama presents a lucrative opportunity for farmers to thrive.
