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.
https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/sanco/traces/output/listsPerActivity_en.htm#
In my opinion ocean resources out of SSA are really being 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?

Tunde - can you give us figures on Nigerian catfish production? Like how much is produced?
How much is exported? How much catfish fillets are imported into Nigeria?
From what Banjo says about profit and ease of growth for catfish you would expect Nigeria
to be a) self sufficient b) exporting its surplus to other African countries.....for me
that would be more a determination of "success" than just an ability to have a
production larger than neighbours....
I guess all flow through systems are easier to manage than water return systems (an
aquaculture technology that is still in its infancy globally).
Where and how exactly is the Nigerian government going to invest in facilitating the
development of the aquaculture value chain - are you saying there will be investment in
business to be managed by the private sector or facilitating private sector investment or
both?
Can you let me know what is the current status of shrimp aquaculture in Nigeria - is there
any hope of developments as there is now a captive BT population offshore and the fished
product seems to be doing well exported to Europe?

Dear Will,
Thanks so much for always highlighting the tremendous progress Nigeria is making in
Catfish farming. From the response and interactions during the COMHAFAT workshop in
Libreville in June it's quite obvious that other African countries can also benefit
immensely from Nigeria experience as the flow-through system is not too complex unlike the
Water Recycling System(WRS).Apart from Kenya,Uganda is also making good progress in
Catfish farming. I can assure you that Nigeria will even do more as the new Government is
now more determined and commited to invest on facilitating the development of the
Aquaculture Value Chain along purely business line to be driven by the private sector.

Hi Patrick,
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.

There are potential challenges ahead.

Hi Guy,
There is not enough space and time on a discussion group board to expand on the different
business models and different marketing strategies available......nor am I an expert (I am
sure there are others who have written books about this stuff?)......not sure what you
mean by suitable though - do you mean economically sustainable? If so guess it depends on
the business model adopted.
Importantly whatever production model one undertakes (as this after all really a site
about African aquaculture producion) success or failure - gauged by economic
sustainability and growth - is very dependent on the "marketability" of the
final offering.
On your second paragraph - surely smoking and/or drying is just another route to market
and another offering.....especially so where there is no ice or refrigeration logistics to
take something fresh to a marketplace. Alternative would be no sale at all. So, in that
"business model", profit margin may not be as large (but that is mute anyway if
no option) but at least it is not a write-off......
I think one will find that if domestic decision makers, with all the best intentions in
the world to help develop countries, tried to instigated market protection there would be
stiff resistance by the communities that tend to run the commercial import/export trade in
many countries in Africa - be they nationalised Indian, Lebanese, Chinese or Europeans.
Interests and political will do not always agree.
Can you explain what is so obvious about the reason that catfish fish farming took off in
Nigeria.....and why a similar development (or business?) model wouldn’t work elsewhere in
Africa?
Salut,
Patrick

Hi Patrick,
For the sake of the discussion, it would be nice if you could expand on the business
models and their market strategies that you envisage or find suitable.
As for smoking or drying farmed fish, this does not consider that the fish traditionally
smoked or dried in capture fisheries, is been processed because it cannot be sold fresh;
it is processed just before it is about to rot (in the best cases) (even to hide the
taste). This fish fetches a lower price than the fresh one. Adding production costs
through processing will thus reduce your margins.
Convincing domestic decision-maker to protect their markets will be very difficult, unless
they have a particular stake in that sector.
Of course, there is a major distinction between agriculture-led countries and countries
where industrialisation is developing. The reason that catfish fish farming took off in
Nigeria is obvious, a similar development model wouldn’t work in a country like Guinea,
Burundi or CAR (if the country still exists ...)
Cheers,
Guy Delincé.

Hi Guy,
I think that you have mistakenly used a logistics export model for high value game fish
(weekly prices, air freight, auctions) that is not applicable to a low cost commodity
traded product like tilapia.
The reason Chinese tilapia are cheap is simply because they are exporting to Africa 20%+
water pick up in the fillet using polyphosphates, not to mention playing with the glaze so
even the net weights are often lower than stated. Also Chinese producers get export
subsidies. So, in a lot of ways it is not about aquaculture at all.
Producers in Africa can go the Chinese way in the local marketplace or differentiate their
products (fresh and without chemicals), smoked, dried, etc.
We started South American tilapia exports with frozen to the US but this soon developed to
a fresh fillet system as Chinese frozen tilapia made it impossible to compete.
Of course a methodology much used in other countries to promote local industry (Brazil
used it for many years) is to ban imports or tax them in such a way as to allow local
competition or encumbent industries to survive. Even the US does it now with the Southern
shrimp alliance....taxes are then directed towards helping internal industry - but this
takes a lot of political will and probably a lot of mud slinging about denying Africans
food security etc......
...........according to Jason Clay this will indirectly happen anyway as producers from SE
Asia will re-route products to feed the burgeoning developed countries population and ever
increasing demand for seafood.
I guess that the old adage for seafood also stands even in Africa - everyone talks about
quality but buys on price.
