21 August, 2012 - Zambia is poised to increase its aquaculture production to 28,500 metric tons annually in the next five years from 8,500 metric tons due to increased fish farming activities, says the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO).


FAO indicates that tilapia will account for 40 percent of fish produced by Zambian aquaculture firms which is estimated to be valued at USD 57 million.


According to FAO's latest report on aquaculture farming in Zambia entitled “Tilapia Farming Can Build Food Security” notes that achieving the anticipated increased harvest might be a challenge if aquaculture programs are not enhanced.
