Descripción
This document presents an investment case for modified and improved farming methods for tilapia in Cote d’Ivoire. The case is built on information about the costs, benefits and results of the action which was funded by FISH4ACP in 2024 and 2025. Tilapia is the main fish species farmed in Côte d'Ivoire with an annual production of some 7 700 tonnes, and contributes only a small proportion of total annual domestic production, with national demand meaning that the country is highly reliant on imports of fish. Methods of farming tilapia were previously not efficient, but through action by FISH4ACP to improve the quality and availability of fingerlings, ensure enhanced farming methods, and introduce digital technologies, the financial performance of tilapia farming was enhanced. This is demonstrated through financial models of the operating accounts of fish farmers prior to, and after FISH4ACP support.
