The Catfish is  the totem of 80-90% of the Ivorian population. They do not eat because it is forbidden by their custom. Why investors chose this specie i wasn't there at the beginning of the project (choice species and installation according to the choice of species to raise).
It is that I have problems to sell my catfish production contrary to Tilapia selling edge fields easily (3, 5mt per day).
In fact, I currently produce 44 tons of catfish per month and I can't sell more than 18 tons.
If there is an interested person it can contact me (see address below) because I could provide every month at least 80 tons. The price of a kilo is attractive (1.8 euros/kg). The average weight of catfish is 950 g.
