Fisheries Ministry to reduce importation of fish

“Let me reiterate that where we are today, with all the challenges of post-covid, the countries that will survive are those that will increase their import substitution.

He stated that Ghana cannot generate foreign income for the purposes of importing fish.

It will mean we would have to increase production in aquaculture here,” he said

Speaking at a Dinner and Awards Night organised by the Chamber of Aquaculture Ghana under the auspices of the Ministry and the Fisheries Commission, Mr Anim called on researchers and academia to partner industry players in improving the sector.

Chairperson of the Chamber for Aquaculture Ghana, Dr

Ruby Asmah indicated the maiden edition of the Aquaculture Awards was to acknowledge stakeholders that have survived the turbulence of the sector and industry players that have contributed to the recovery process.

The aquaculture sector in Ghana has had its ups and downs and I think the most difficult period was when the disease outbreak occurred in 2018”.
