La pisciculture au Nigeria - pourquoi a t-elle était un succès ? Peut on reproduire cela ailleurs en Afrique ?

by Olivier MIKOLASEK

suite, Olivier Cher Patrick, Je suis désolé, cela m'a pris un certain temps pour répondre à vos mail. J'ai été très occupé et surtout hors de mon bureau. Réellement, la situation de l'aquaculture au Nigeria est qu' aujourd'hui, elle est largement entre les mains du secteur privé, mais dans une manière quelque peu désordonnée et très peu réglementée. Les gens font de l'argent tout à fait bien, mais si elle est autorisée à continuer de la manière actuelle, la croissance peut devenir insoutenable. Par exemple peu de producteurs de silures prennent la question de la valeur ajoutée au sérieux et presque tout ce qui est produit est vendu en direct en bord d'étangs. La solution maintenant, c'est que le gouvernement veut s'attaquer au problème de façon proactive en veillant à ce que, tandis que plus les gens sont attirés dans la production de silure en raison des profits, certaines mesures soient mises en place comme la réglementation et d'incitation de crédit tandis que des politiques publique qui encourageraient l'exportation et même chercheraient à attirer les investisseurs étrangers dans l'industrie, sont mises en place. La FAO a juste facilité la National Aquaculture Stratégie pour Nigeria, qui sera sensiblement au cœur de la politique des pêches du Nigeria à envoyer à l'Assemblée le Nigeria pour la législation. Cette stratégie énonce clairement les rôles de toutes les personnes impliquées dans la chaîne de valeur. Patrick, vous savez, même les 150.000 tonnes actuellement des poissons d'élevage (dont le poisson-chat représente environ 120 000 tonnes), est d'environ un sixième de la demande en poissons vis à vis des apporvsionements . Nous parlons d'environ 1 million tonnes par an. L'excitation sur l'augmentation de la production est le fait que il y a neuf ans, ie2002, les poissons d'élevage contribuait à moins de 30.000 tonnes à l'approvisionnement national en poissons. Je recommanderai que SARNISSA met à votre disposition la publication sur leur Projet d'information du Marché du Guide sur le Marché de l'Aquaculture pour Nigeria. il est en cours (Octobre 2010), guide qui a énuméré beaucoup de contacts et de partenaires commerciaux potentiels pour les investisseurs. En ce qui concerne l'agriculture Black Tiger et de l'élevage de crevettes bien sûr généralement, il est encore à ses balbutiements au Nigeria. En fait, a première écloserie pour produire les nauplies était juste créé il y a moins d'un an avec l'aide d'un éleveur de crevettes thaïlandaises sous la FAO sud-sud TCDC arrangement. l'écloserie est situé dans un Institut de Recherche. Un grand nombre de producteurs privés potentiels ont participé aux deux formations réalisées par l'expert avant son départ, mais l'investissement par les producteurs dans l'élevage de crevettes n'a pas démarré jusqu'à maintenant. J'espere que j'ai pu répondre à certaines de vos questions. restons en contact. Désolé je n'ai pas de facilité de téléconférence dans mon bureau. Merci.

Re: [Sarnissa] Catfish farming in Nigeria - why has it succeeded ? Can it be replicated elsewhere in Africa?

by Olivier MIKOLASEK

suite du débat sur le clarias et l'aquaculture au Nigeria. La traduction google (avec juste qq touches) me semble tassez claire pour traduire l'enthousiasme de notre collègue Olalade Cher Monsieur Atanda et tous, Je ne peux pas être plus d'accord avec vous, pour une fois, l'ensemble dde la chaîne de valeur de l'aquaculture Nigeriane est renforcée, en particulier l'apport des investisseurs privés , d'énormes progrès seront faits et d'autres poissons cultivables peuvent également être mis en évidence. Il ya un certain nombre de possibles actions de la chaîne de valeur que nous allons cependant prendre en considération d'une extrémité de la chaîne dans l'augmentation de la production par les éleveurs de poissons à l'extrémité inférieure pour les consommateurs à l'autre bout. Les économies d'échelle, la commercialisation (nous avions discuté de l'adoption de l'utilisation des systèmes d'information TIC: GSM dans les discussions antérieures sur ce forum), les infrastructures, l'amélioration des transports, énergie, etc, l'accès à des fonds simples chiffres, édification de la capacités des pêcheurs (agriculteurs, poissons processeurs, etc), les organiser en groupes viable et maximum en utilisant les établis ONG, associations et coopératives pour les achats en vrac / partage des coûts ne sera en aucun temps de catapulter l'aquaculture au Nigeria dans les plus hauts sommets. C'est avec un dévouement total et son engagement envers ce qui concerne l'aquaculture comme une activité commerciale à part entière, non plus attendre du gouvernement pour tout ou des «cadeaux» comme un ami dans une agence étrangère succinctement me l'a dit en plaisantant, mais en reconnaissant que l'entreprise de l'aquaculture est une activité rentable et viable et actuellement dans le monde, l'industrie la plus forte croissance émergente. Une chose que je sais et je suis confiant quant Nigérians est qu'une fois que nous comprenons quelque chose qui nous est enseigné, nous le connaissons et y mettons tout notre cœur pour faire encore mieux que nos enseignants (excuses aux différents professeurs, entrepreneurs, etc etc) et je croyons que cette approche de la chaîne de valeur a été depuis longtemps car nous sommes des gens d'affaires naturelles qui sentent l'odeur de bons revenus à des km au large. C'est une opportunité et un appel à des investisseurs extérieurs y venir et à collaborer avec nous comme nous sommes définitivement faire avancer les choses beaucoup mieux maintenant que nous commençons avec cette nouvelle approche.

Catfish farming in Nigeria - why has it succeeded ? Can it be replicated elsewhere in Africa?

by Olivier MIKOLASEK

traduction de la discussion "Nigeria" ___________________ pouvez-vous nous donner des chiffres sur la production des poissons-chats du Nigeria? Quantité produite? Quantité exportée? Combien de filets de silure sont importés au Nigeria? D'après ce que dit Banjo concernant le profit et et la facilité de croissance pour le poisson-chat, les attentes du Nigeria serait d'être a) auto suffisant, b) exportateur de ses surplus à d'autres pays africains ..... pour moi ce serait plus une volonté de «réussite» que simplement une capacité à avoir une production plus grande que les voisins .... Je suppose que tous les flux à travers des systèmes sont plus faciles à gérer que les systèmes de retour d'eau (une technologie d'aquaculture qui est encore à ses balbutiements au niveau mondial). Où et comment est exactement le gouvernement nigérian va investir en vue de faciliter le développement de l'aquaculture chaîne de valeur - êtes vous en train de dire , qu'il y aura des investissements dans des entreprises gérées par le secteur privé ou de faciliter les investissements du secteur privé ou les deux? Pouvez-vous me faire savoir quel est le statut actuel de l'aquaculture de crevettes au Nigeria - y at-il un espoir de progrès car il ya maintenant une large population captive BT et le produit pêché semble bien se porter exportés vers l'Europe?

[Forum dialogue on dams] Recasement et partage des bénéfices en Afrique de l'Ouest / Resettlement and Benefit sharing in West Africa

by KOUNDOUNO Jérôme

Chers collègues, J'ai le plaisir de vous annoncer la tenue d'un atelier régional sur les thèmes du recasement et du partage des bénéfices avec les populations locales autour des barrages en Afrique de l'Ouest. Il se tiendra à Ouagadougou au Burkina Faso du 13 au 15 septembre 2011 et réunira des experts des pays de la sous-région, des représentants des organismes de bassin et de la société civile. L'objectif global de cet atelier technique est d'échanger les expériences ouest africaines en matière de recasement et partage des bénéfices avec les populations, et de regarder ensemble l'expérience vécue depuis les premiers grands ouvrages des années 1960 jusqu'à nos jours, d'examiner les raisons des échecs et de capitaliser les bonnes pratiques. Il est organisé par le partenariat CCRE (CEDEAO) et Global Water Initiative (GWI) dans le cadre du dialogue régional sur les grandes infrastructures hydrauliques. Veuillez trouver ci-joints les TDR de la rencontre. Cordialement, ________________________________ Dear Colleagues, I am pleased to inform you of the regional workshop on resettlement and benefit sharing with local populations around dams in West Africa. It will take place in Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso) from 13 to 15 September 2011 and will bring together experts from the different countries in the region, and from basin organisations and civil society. The objective of this workshop is to exchange West African experience on the topic of resettlement and benefit sharing with local people. The workshop will discuss the local experiences since the first large dams were constructed in West Africa in the 1960s, examine the reasons for success or failure, and build on the good practices identified. It is organised by the partnership WRCC (ECOWAS) and Global Water Initiative (GWI) in the framework of the regional dialogue on large dams. Please find enclosed the ToRs of the meeting.

FW: Re : COMHAFAT Gabon workshop report

by William Leschen

From: BADIANE ABDOUL [mailto:badianeabdoul@yahoo.fr] Sent: 21 August 2011 00:12 To: sarnissa-african-aquaculture Mailing List Subject: Re : [Sarnissa] COMHAFAT Gabon workshop report bONJOUR MR KOUMASSI suis senegalais et ai ete recrute par HYDROFISH qui est une ferme aquacole moderne localise en Cote divoire (Bingerville). C est unje ferme moderne en Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS) qui doit produire 3000 Tonnes par an de tilapia et ClarIAS. Aujourdhui force est de reconnaitre que l afrique va comme a revolution verte rater la revolution bleue (aquaculture). Aujourd hui, nous exploitons moins de 2 pour cent de nos potentialites aquacoles. Pourquoi/ parcque les investisseurs africains ne sont pas sensibiliser sur les potentialites de l activite mais aussi y a aucune politique de nos gouvernants pour assoure une aquaculture durable et rentable. Si vous voyer bien dans la plupart des pays africains, l aquaculture est relayee au second plan car inserer dans l agriculture ou l elevage. Pour repondre a M. DIOUF qui a ete mon Directeur, le raccourcissement de la duree d elevage consiste simplement a disposer de male YY souche pure qui peut etre obtenu de la Hollande avec tilaqua. Dans notre ferme en Cote divoire nous disposons de ces males mais aussi des femmelles normales XX mais qui ont ete bien nourries donc pouvant donner des ouefs de bonnne qualite. Y a plus rien a inventer, tout est mis au point et il suffit simplement de disposer des adresses des potentiels fournisseurs de geniteurs qui se trouvent partout dans le monde (hollande, thailande etc). L argent qui est depense dans les seminaires ou colloque sur l aquaculture devrait plutot servir a la mise en place de stations regionales ou sous regionales de production de geniteurs de souche pure. Lors de l atelier africain sur l aquaculture et la riziculture finance par la JICA au senegal en decembre 2010 que j ai eu l honneur d etre consultant, il a ete elabore un projet de financement d un centre regional de production de geniteurs a haute performance qui sera distibue dans les pays africains afin de developper l activite aquacole. Il a ete ainsi propose a la JICA et a la FAO de financer des programmes sous regionaux. Arretons les seminaires et passons aux actes concrets.

This SARNISSA has achieved well already. In a second step, it is also to appreciate the many achievements of research through the dissemination of models of livestock extension and profitable prod systems . Third, it is with African regional organizations such as CORAF / WECARD or FARA, and bilateral donors or multilateral, as part of an answer to production targets by country (see five-year or ten year plans), to fund projects at cost-effective through decentralized to achieve the fixed levels. This well sure, without concealing industry initiatives. We believe personally that sub-Saharan Africa will struggle to take off in terms of aquaculture production if the frame lodique next, avoiding the dispersion generally observed, is not respected: production target five or ten year production by country ...... implementation of cost-effective model farm with appropriate ones to achieve these goals ............. Accompanying research by objectives to meet the operating constraints in agro-ecological zones. The tours will study suggests in this case the consolidation tools or devices set up by a country or regional level. This is our approach, this is our vision, in this context, we would be willing to take part in a lobbying or regional level to bring our African administrations in charge of fishing and aquaculture implement actions that can ensure not only the profitability of the financial investment made by the players, but can ensure the subset of producers and a guarantee of legacy to their offspring, particularly in rural areas. The leitmotif of sub-Saharan Africa should be, todayi: "Taking Action for better food security of our people through better availability of animal protein, especially farmed fish." While hoping to have contributed to enriching the debate, please receive my cordial greetings.

Cela SARNISSA l'a bien reussi. Dans un second temps, il s'agit par ailleurs, de valoriser les nombreux acquis de recherche par la diffusion de modeles d'elevage vulgarisables et rentables. Troisiement, il s'agit avec les organisations regionales ou africaines telles que le coraf/wecard ou le FARA, et bailleurs de fonds bilateraux ou multilateraux, dans le cadre d'une reponse a des objectifs de production par pays (cf. plan quinquenal ou decennal), de financer des projets rentables a t travers les collectivites decentralisee permettant d'atteindre les niveaux fixes. Cela bien sure, sans occulter les initiatives industrielles. Nous pensons personnellement que l'Afrique subsaharienne aura du mal a decoller au niveau de la production aquacole si le cadre lodique suivant, permettant d'eviter les dispersions generalement observees, n'est pas respecte: Objectif de production quinquennal ou decennal de production par pays ......mise en place de ferme avec modeles rentables indiques pour atteindre ces objectifs ............. Recherche d'accompagnement par objectif permettant de relever les contraintes d'exploitations par zones zone agro-ecologique. Les voyages d'etudes suggeres seront dans ce cas des outils de consolidation du ou des dispositifs mis en place par pays ou a l'echelle regionale. Telle est notre approche, telle est notre vision, Dans ce contexte, nous serions disposes a prendre part a un lobbying regional ou au niveau africain pour amener nos administrations en charge de la peche et de l'aquaculture a mettre en oeuvre des actions pouvant garantir non seulement la rentabilite de l'investissement financier consenti par les acteurs, mais pouvant assurer la subsitance des producteurs et une garantie de leg a leur descendance, particulierement en milieu rural. Le leitmotiv de l'Afrique subsaharienne devrait etre, aujurd'hui: "Passons a l'action pour une meilleure securite alimentaire de nos populations par une meilleure disponibilite de proteines animales, en particulier du poisson d'elevage". Tout en esperant avoir contribue a l'enrichessement du debat, je vous prie de recevoir mes salutations cordiales.

Je partage votre point de vue on est au stade où il nous faut de réalisations concrètes, une vraie politique de diffusion des méthodes d'abord simple et accessible au population mais aussi au privé. Dans cette optique je suis disposé à participer à la vulgarisation de l'aquaculture commerciale. ________________________________ De : Matar DIOUF <matardiouf363(a)yahoo.fr> À : "sarnissa-french-aquaculture(a)lists.stir.ac.uk" <sarnissa-french-aquaculture(a)lists.stir.ac.uk> Envoyé le : Ven 19 août 2011, 1h 27min 58s Objet : [Sarnissa] Re : Re : Re : rapport du séminaire sur l'aquaculture commerciale zone COMHAFAT Merci Monsieur Diallo pour cette invite. Cependant , il y a trop de palabres et très peu d'actions. Je souhaite des rencontres régionales suivies de visites de véritables fermes d'aquaculture (parcs ostréicoles, bassins, étangs ou cages de pisciculture, fermes de crevetticulture etc); des populations riveraines animées par un engouement fort pour l'activité aquacole, une volonté politique sans faille des Etats. Oui pour les rencontres, les voyages , mais produisons également. L'aquaculture est l'un des rares domaines où les manuels de procédures foisonnent. Faisons comme l'Egypte, qui n'a que le Nil. Nous disposons dans la région d'éminents Experts en la matière et de réseaux hydrographiques très denses. Assez pour certaines études de distraction. La recherche action doit être privilégiée. Avec cette méthode j'ai obtenu d'importants résultats avec le grossissement du Thiof (Epinephelus aeneus) notamment sur sa croissance relativement rapide par rapport au milieu naturel, l'aliment et la pathologie. C'est en cela que j'invite tous les membres de Sarnissa à poser de problèmes concrets, par exemple sur la conception des ouvrages, les meilleures souches, l'aliment et faisons attention aux facteurs anti nutritionnels présents souvent dans les sous produits locaux. Un accent tout particulier doit être mis sur: - un aliment performant; - des souches de bonne qualité; - recherche sur le raccourcissement du cycle de production; ceci dans l'intention de susciter l'engouement des acteurs; - une aquaculture responsable. NB: Ne soyons pas réfractaires à la certification et à l'écolabellisation. Tôt ou tard le commerce international va exiger ses Directives.
