présent au dessous de nos attentes, je vous informe que la socièté américaine Wenger vient
de me désigner en tant que représentant dans ce continent.
Wenger est spécialisée dans la conception et la mise en place des lignes de production
pour l'aliment de poisson.

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.

Dear Patrick,
I'm sorry it's taking me some time responding to your mail.I've been quite
busy and mostly out of my duty post.Really the situation of Nigeria Aquaculture is that
even presently it's largely in the hands of the private sector,albeit in a somewhat
uncoordinated and largely unregulated manner. People are making money quite alright but if
it is allowed to continue in the present manner, the growth may become unsustainable. For
example not many of the catfish farmers are taking the issue of value-addition seriously
as almost everything produced is sold live at farmgate.The issue now is that the
Government wants to tackle the problem proactively by ensuring that while more people are
being attracted into catfish farming because of the profit incentive, certain measures
will have to be put in place like regulation and credit incentive while policies that
would encourage export and even attract foreign investors into the industry are put in
place.The FAO just
facilitated the National Aquaculture Strategy for Nigeria which
will substantially be at the core of Nigeria Fisheries Policy to be sent to the Nigeria
Assembly for legislation. This strategy clearly spells out the roles of everybody involved
in the value chain.
Patrick, you know even the present 150,000 tonnes of
farmed fish(out of which catfish accounts for about 120,000 tonnes),is about one-sixth of
the shortfall in demand of fish vis-a-vis supply.We are talking of about 1 million tonnes
per annum.The excitement on the increase in production is from the fact that nine years
ago,i.e.2002, farmed fish was contributing less than 30,000 tonnes per annum to the
national fish supply.
I will recommend that SARNISSA makes available to you the publication under their Market
Information Project on Aquaculture Market Guide for Nigeria.It is a very current(October
2010) guide that listed a lot of contact and potential business partners for investors.
With respect to Black Tiger farming and of course shrimp farming generally,it's still
at its infancy in Nigeria. In fact the fiirst dedicated hatchery to produce the nauplii
was just established less than a year ago with the assistance of a Thai shrimp farmer
under the FAO south-south TCDC arrangement.The hatchery is located in a Research
Institute.A lot of private potential shrimp farmers participated in the two trainings
conducted by the expert before he left, but investment by the farmers in shrimp farming is
a non-starter as at now.I hope I've been able to answer some of your question.
Let's keep talking. Sorry I do not have teleconferencing facility in my office.
Thanks.

Hi Sanna,
Sanna - Yes I do mean Black Tiger.
Isn´t it also interesting that in all SSA only three
facilities (in
two countries) have EU export approval for
aquaculture - lots of packing plants, fishing
vessel/factory ship approvals for extractive (inshore)
and/or exploitive (offshore) fishing but aquaculture does
not figure at all......all three facilities are for high
value offerings.
given away -
instead of being exchanged for a sustainable
aquaculture option. The EU´s direction has always been to
help in government capacity building, developing
frameworks and research (yes research)- and give us your
fish (via our companies)!
It may be radical but I believe that every fishing company
in SSA
should be mandated to invest in commercial
aquaculture project in the country they operate in (a
mentor or sponsorship effort) - and that way indirectly
give something back and who knows, even secure their own
futures?

>>>I really don't know the history of catfish farming in other African
countries with reference to why it has not been successful in terms of its establishment.
But, there are few things I know about Nigeria Catfish farming and its success.
>>>
>>>Public Awareness
>>>Nigerians are sensitive to businesses that generate profit at a very short
time. Catfish reaching a marketable size withing six months gave this opportunity, not to
talk of the short duration of 4-6 weeks of producing the seeds of this specie and the
flexibilities involved in its production in terms of facilities. Imagine some producers
producing catfish fingerlings in the toilet. So, "EVERYBODY" got engaged in
catfish production to make "JUST PROFIT"
>>>
>>>Influx of Experts and Non-expert into the Business of Catfish Production
>>>Catfish being hardy surrendered itself to manipulation by the non-experts in
its production. You just need to go for a three weeks training and you do it just like you
are keeping a pet. Those who didn't have the opportunity to produce turned out to be
sales agents distributing the product to "every" part of Nigeria.
>>>
>>>Population
>>>Although, not statistically supported, only fraction of Nigeria eat the
Catfish produced by the producers - fish pepper soup joint constituting largest percentage
- yet there is still a wide supply gap. The quantity of catfish produced within Nigeria
cannot at the moment support the stoppage of importation as population far exceeds that
the local catfish producers supply. So, anyone entering the line of business at any point
will make profit.
>>>
>>>Tilapia or other species not being able to replace Catfish
>>>Tilapiais very tasty, but no Nigerians want to die of fish bone. Tilapia has
bone in the flesh which requires special attention for consumption. When processed, its no
more fresh and personally, I will buy imported fish sold at the market than buy expensive
processed locally produced Tilapia. Same goes for processed Catfish. This condition and
customers perception about fresh and non-fresh or processed fish prevent the market
benefit of product diversification.
