Introduction
Fish -important food source in many Africans diets
Fish supply in Kenya- mainly wild capture fisheries and
imported marine fish
Aquaculture development in Kenya- identified as a core
activity for funding in NEPAD Action Plan in 2000.
Growth in aquaculture- cover the fish supply gap.
Despite governments efforts (ESP program), access to
capital - major constraint
Introduction (continued)
Limited distinction in marketing of wild caught fish and
farmed fish
Farmed fish- usually sold directly to consumers, or nearby
small traders and establishments
Main aquaculture activity- pond culture of mainly Nile tilapia
(Oreochromis niloticus) and African catfish (Clarias gariepinus)
Fish production in male domain- relied on the full
participation of women and family
Women traditionally have central position in harvesting, postharvest handling of fish and marketing.

Conclusions
Conclusions (continued)
Input supply continues to be an Achilles heel for all value
chain actors.
The government of Kenya commendable - boosting
aquacultural sector through its incentive schemes and ESP
program.
Private sector involvement commendable - aquashops (FARMAfrica and the UK funded Research into Use program) and
agrovets (CNFA) initiatives.
Need for a multi-level collaborative effort to determine a long
term strategic plan that benefits and includes all value chain
participants
Thank you!
