The Government has issued a total of Sh128 million worth of grants to fish farmers in 15 Counties under the Aquaculture Business Development Programme (ABDP).
ABDP is a programme jointly funded by the government of Kenya and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) to support small-holder farmer sustainability and profit from fish farming.
The grants will benefit Small Holder Aquaculture Groups (SAGs) that include both women and youth groups, Aquaculture Support Enterprises (ASEs) and Aquaculture Field Schools (AFSs).
ABDP has been supporting fish farmers in Kenya for several years with the current grant set to support enterprises along the value chain from production, pond digging, fish feed making, value addition and transportation.
