Fish Farmers Decry Fake Fish Feeds on the Market

UGANDA - Fish dealers have called upon the Government to intervene in fish feeds production. The dealers complain that the feeds on the market are sub-standard and lead to stunted growth, affecting the profitability of fish farming.

Speaking at the 6th annual fish farmers symposium and trade fair at the Industrial Research Institute last week, Allen Kusasira, from the Source of the Nile fish farm said poor fish feeds are incapacitating farmers as they cannot even recover the capital invested in fish farming, reports NewVision

She suggested that the Government can help feed producers by providing them with the necessary machinery and improved feed ingredients.
