(NAIS) ANNA SONGOLO, the permanent secretary for fisheries and livestock, has urged financial institutions to fund aquaculture value chains.
According to Dr. SONGOLO, the government has provided economic opportunities that financial institutions can take advantage of through the Zambia Aquaculture Enterprise Development Project.
She was speaking in Chilanga at a training session on sustainable commercial aquaculture that the Food and Agriculture Organization had planned for various participants in the aquaculture value chain (FAO).
Additionally, SUZE FILIPPINI, an FAO country representative, stated that her agency has supported the creation of a training handbook and curriculum on sustainable commercial aquaculture.
The guidebook, according to Ms. FILIPPINI, will help financial institutions and fish farmers improve their abilities to make aquaculture in Zambia a thriving and sustainable industry.
