Straight after her graduation with a degree in land economy in 2019, Precious Nutifafa decided to build a catfish farm in Saviefe Agorkpo, in the Volta Region of Ghana, and she now has plans to build production to 200 tonnes a year.
 

What size is your farm and what species do you produce?

I have seven medium-sized concrete ponds with the capacity to hold over 5,000 catfish each, and I am in the process of building five large earthen ponds and a multi-purpose block for storing and processing. Part of the building will be used to transfer skills to other fish farmers in the region.
