Upcoming Projects
Looking Ahead
Building the next generation of Zambian aquaculture infrastructure.
Our roadmap is shaped by the real bottlenecks farmers tell us about quality fingerlings, fish health, feed cost, market access, and skills. Each project below addresses a specific gap in the tilapia value chain, with planned technology, target users, and measurable impact.
The fingerling value chain still has five critical gaps.
Quality seed access, fish health surveillance, decentralised production, last-mile distribution, and farmer skills. Our upcoming projects target each one — anchored in TCoE research and Kabiobio Hatchery operations.
