Unlocking Regional Ingredients for a Sustainable Aquafeed Industry

The growth of East Africa’s aquaculture sector depends on access to high-quality, affordable fish feed. However, the industry remains heavily reliant on imported ingredients, making feed production costly and limiting local value addition.

By fostering innovation and investment in locally sourced feed production, East Africa can build a more sustainable, competitive, and self-sufficient aquaculture industry.
