Burkina Faso might be a dry Sahelian country without sea access, but that’s not stopping it boosting its fisheries sector. As part of a special ‘offensive,’ the country is hoping to produce 100,000 tonnes of fish in 2025.

Since last year, special cages have been installed at reservoirs across the country - with investors invited to take part. One success story is Samandeni Dam, where 15 tonnes of tilapia were harvested in four months.

Not all locations are at full capacity yet and opportunities to invest in the industry are still there to be seized. Interested?
