Following a meeting between Nigeria’s President and State Governors which was held on Feb 15, 2024., where the imperative of bolstering food security took center stage, we’re thrilled to share a pivotal development in this journey towards self-sufficiency!
In alignment with the President’s vision to prioritize local food production over imports, AQUAPET VENTURES proudly reaffirms its commitment to revolutionize Nigeria’s fish farming industry. We stand as torchbearers in the nation’s quest for food sovereignty, offering sustainable solutions to augment local fish production.
As the era of dependency on imported fish fades, our company has spearheaded a groundbreaking initiative. We’ve introduced five new species of fish and more still under development into Nigeria’s aquaculture ecosystem, meticulously developed and bred to thrive in our unique conditions.
- Freshwater Brama
- Pangasius
- Rohu
- Common carp
- Climbing perch and more…….
This strategic innovation is poised to empower Nigerian fish farmers, ensuring year-round fish production and reducing reliance on imports.
Our pioneering efforts not only address the urgent need for food security but also present a formidable challenge to imported varieties. With our locally cultivated fish species, farmers can now compete effectively in the market, driving economic growth and fostering self-reliance . By fostering local production, we not only mitigate the risks associated with import dependence but also stimulate job creation and empower local communities.
At AQUAPET VENTURES, we envision a future where Nigeria emerges as a beacon of self-sufficiency in aquaculture. We invite all stakeholders – from government bodies to private institutions – to join us in this transformative journey towards a resilient and prosperous food landscape.
Together, let’s seize this momentous opportunity to secure our nation’s food future and pave the way for a thriving agricultural sector.
