Established in 2015, Fine Fish Ltd primarily produces and grows fingerlings (juvenile fish) and fish, expanding in June 2023 to encompass fish feed production by acquiring a new plant. Through this expansion and with 33 permanent staff, Fine Fish Ltd is currently producing more than 20 tonnes of floating fish feed every day with the potential to produce 40 tonnes to meet market demand. Contact: fine.fish2015@gmail.com 

Supporting Smallholder Fish Farmers to Access Quality Floating Fish Feeds

To access consumers and stimulate demand for the produced feeds, this 12-month pilot project started in April 2024 to support Fine Fish Ltd to link with 100 cooperatives (30% women led) and 30 MSMEs producing fish in ponds and dams. This project is also supporting Fine Fish Ltd to produce floating fish feed and to explore the use of alternative feed ingredients such as black soldier fly (BSF), which is cheaper than other imported ingredients such as fish meal. The use of BSF (and other alternative feeds) will also help to reduce the negative environmental effects associated with the use of many other feed ingredients. At a cost of £79,420, the project expects to reach 2,500 smallholder farmers, increasing individual annual incomes by £235. Fine Fish Ltd is seeking debt investment of £118,370 for working capital.
