Southern Africa's tilapia sector has immense growth potential — but regulatory uncertainty, inconsistent biosecurity standards, inadequate fingerling certification frameworks, and lack of evidence-based sector strategy prevent investment, limit farmer access to quality inputs, and create risk for commercial operators.

Tilapia Centre's Policy and Advisory work addresses this directly: we produce rigorous, evidence-based research, engage stakeholders across government, civil society and industry, and translate scientific knowledge into practical policy recommendations.
