Ghana’s National Aquaculture Development Plan has been unveiled with the aim of providing the capacity for fish farmers to increase production. The plan, unveiled by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), targets 100,000 tons of fish for the country by 2016.
The GNADP provides a roadmap where aquaculture will contribute significantly to food and nutritional security, employment generation, increased incomes, economic growth and poverty reduction.
The implementation of the five-year comprehensive medium term plan would cost a little over USD 84 million. Close to USD 66,000 would be contributed by the government while public investment takes care of remaining USD 18,000.
