Is this a business for you?
The briefThe opportunity, what it takes to start, and the market signal, in plain terms.
Fish is about sixty percent of the protein Ghanaians eat, and farmed tilapia and catfish are the fastest-growing way to supply it. Hatchery economics, feed and disease control in intensive systems decide who profits, and a wave of public and private money is now arriving for seed, feed, processing and cold chain.
A realistic starting point. First revenue in about 5 to 6 months.
The disease, price and biosecurity risks are covered in full inside the playbook.
