post juveniles till harvest.
We produce 15 tons per circle and a capacity
of 30 tons per annum.

5. FARM OVERVIEW

6. • After the second cycle of six month and
impressive sales figure, the lesson
learnt/challenges of sourcing fingerlings
outside the farm, I re-invested my turn over to
construct a standard hatchery ,this was done
using local initiative of a smart plumber and
copying the standard imported ones in the
market.

7. HATCHERY

8. To increase my product line and with the gift of 3
smoking kiln from the Federal Ministry of
Agriculture and Rural Development, we decided to
package smoke fish that will meet not only with
local/national market but also compete
internationally.

quickly to preserve the quality and customer
satisfaction.
