A two-week training programme for African fish farmers, funded by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the American Soybean Association’s World Initiative For Soy in Human Health (ASA/WISHH), took place in Sogakope, Ghana last month.
“I believe that some very valuable skills have been imparted here in the last three weeks. This has been a very intensive programme, with the lectures and discussions extensively backed by practical, on-farm demonstrations. Fortunately, the participants are in the position to transfer skills to others, and I expect a major transformation across many fish farms in the participating countries,” said Evans Danso, CEO of Flosell Farms, who hosted the event.
The programme brought together 16 aquaculture personnel from Tanzania, Benin, Burkina Faso, Togo, Senegal, Ghana, Benin and Nigeria. The focus was on the improvement of productivity, water quality, feed and disease management in aquaculture. WISHH provided two international experts with considerable experience in Africa, Dr Jeff Terhune and Karen Veverica, to help deliver the programme.
