In a significant development for Zimbabwe's aquaculture industry, the Makoholi fish breeding (Masvingo)unit has successfully established five fishponds, comprising two breeding ponds measuring 22m x 12m and three resting ponds measuring 22m x 22m, with the support of the FAO under a technical cooperation programme aimed at enhancing fish breeding and production in Zimbabwe, thereby paving the way for a substantial increase in fish production. With an annual production capacity of at least 3,564,000 high-quality fingerlings, these ponds are poised to revolutionize the industry by complementing existing fingerling hubs and providing local farmers with access to superior-quality fingerlings.

With the objective of tracking the growth of the aquaculture industry and informing policy development to ensure that future strategies are predicted on accurate and comprehensive data, FARD in collaboration with FAO under the FISH4ACP project is conducting a national aquaculture frame survey. To date, five provinces have been surveyed (Manicaland, Masvingo, Midlands, Matabeleland North and Matabeleland South) where key challenges identified included: lack of adequate production knowledge, unavailability of water and poor quality of fingerlings amongst others. The survey is to be cascaded to all provinces in the country, to ensure will be left behind and tailor-made interventions will be employed to aid in growth of the sector.

#Empoweringtheyouth #Securingthefuture With an aim of stocking 35,000 fishponds in Village Business Units, the Presidential Community Fisheries Scheme has extended to youth business units. Nhakiwa Vocational Training Centre (VTC) in Mashonaland East was recently stocked with 8,000 fingerlings to kickstart fish production and empower youth. Leaving no one and no place behind, fish production on the VTC is a step closer to attaining an upper- middle income economy by 2030. #hovekuvanhu #Going4Growth #mlafwrd #fard #YBUs #foodsecurityeverywhereeveryday

Mudzi aquaculture project expansion! An additional pond was unveiled and stocked with 2,000 fingerlings under the Presidential Community Fisheries Scheme in Mudzi District. Taking aquaculture as a business, the lucrative returns associated with at least two ponds are key to the success and continuity of the project. #hovekuvanhu #going4growth #villagebusinessunits #FARD
