Our Review
Aquaculture’s global impact is profound, with Asia leading in production. Despite Africa’s potential, Nigeria’s absence from the top aquaculture producers is notable. Enhancing Nigeria’s aquaculture can bolster its economic growth, food security, and export revenue. Learning from leading countries like China and Indonesia, Nigeria could invest in infrastructure, training, and sustainable practices to boost its output. Collaboration with international experts and local stakeholders can drive innovation and growth in the sector, making Nigeria a significant player in the global aquaculture market.
