La pisciculture au Nigeria - pourquoi a t-elle était un succès ? Peut on reproduire cela ailleurs en Afrique ?
by Olivier MIKOLASEK 16 Sep '11

16 Sep '11

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.

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. Méfiez-vous pour nous dans les deux prochaines années et voir dans quelle mesure. Et je suis aussi vous inviter à venir goûter les délicieuses peppersoup au Bukas diverses surgissent ici tous les jours! Lorsque nos femmes le préparer avec le poisson-chat et leurs condiments locaux il n'y a aucun goût boueux. Pouvez-vous voir le regard sur le visage de l'homme dans l'image ci-dessous? Bienvenue dans notre monde!

Catfish farming in Nigeria - why has it succeeded ? Can it be replicated elsewhere in Africa?
by Olivier MIKOLASEK 14 Sep '11

14 Sep '11

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?
