A team from the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB), Ogun State, Nigeria, is currently in Liberia to facilitate the Aquaculture Market and Value Chain Mapping Study. The study, financed by the World Bank-funded Project "Liberia Sustainable Management of Fisheries Project" through the National Fisheries and Aquaculture Authority (NaFAA), aims to assess the market potential for key aquaculture species across Liberia and analyze the aquaculture value chain. The findings will be utilized to recommend potential market strategies.
The FUNAAB team, led by foreign experts Drs. Festus Adeson, Akerele Dare, and Okdele Oladeji, embarked on a five-day field mission to Liberia as an introduction to the assignment. The mission involves meetings with NaFAA and aquaculture stakeholders to gain a comprehensive understanding of the study's objectives, identify key actors, and address challenges within the aquaculture sector.
This collaborative effort between FUNAAB and Liberia demonstrates a commitment to sustainable fisheries management and economic development in the region. By leveraging expertise and resources, the study aims to contribute to the growth and enhancement of Liberia's aquaculture industry.
