| dc.description | The “Development of Mariculture Sector in Zanzibar”, or “Korea-Zanzibar Friendship Hatchery Centre”, is a project of the Government of Zanzibar, funded by Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA), and implemented with technical support from FAO. A feasibility study carried out by KOICA in 2012 proposed the development of the country’s mariculture sector in Zanzibar, owing to the growing demand for marine products. It emerged from the study that large community groups were failing to develop profitable operations, and there was no significant farm development for either crab or sea cucumber, despite the presence of a good market and a strong demand for milkfish seed from farmers. The project involved capacity building in aquaculture, the construction and operational support of a semi-commercial hatchery, linkages to model grow-out farm support, aquaculture value-chain development, and a public-private partnership component. It aimed to support the development of an aquaculture sector that provides positive environmental, socio-economic and food security outcomes, and recognizes the importance of market-driven enterprise associated research. | |
