How aquaculture can make inroads into Nigeria’s $1 billion seafood trade deficit
The Nigerian government is looking at how it can invest in aquaculture. Nigeria is the second-largest aquaculture producer in Africa, however, due to ever-growing overhead costs, and a lack of resources and technical knowledge they have recently seen a decline in production rates. The growth of the aquaculture sector offers Nigeria its best chance of reducing its USD $1 billion seafood trade deficit, as well as helping to provide vital nutrients and jobs, according to a new publication by WorldFish.
