Tilapia farming Untapped SA market holds opportunity for growth
Tell us more about your business, David Fincham Aquaculture.
The business was started in 2014 and developed the one-tank fish farming system and aquaculture production unit (APU), a semi-intensive recirculating tilapia farming system designed to meet the needs of tilapia farmers in Africa. The APU is a complete and ready-to-install system. We’ve already supplied 450 APUs to farmers in Africa, of which 100 are in South Africa. These units enable farmers to learn about tilapia farming and experience the processes required for the upscaling of production to commercial levels. We also supply and stock fingerlings through our own and partner hatcheries using good-quality genetic stock. We’re in the process of increasing volumes to meet market demand.
