Promoting affordable and efficient fish feeds for sustainable fish farming and livelihoods in Ouémé Delta of Benin (FeedDelta)

A previous NWO-WOTRO project developed affordable, nutritive, floating, easy-to-use fish feeds, from local Beninese ingredients. Currently, the only -imported- fish feed hardly allows any profitability for fish farmers. This project aims to promote the new fish feeds for sustainable fish farming and livelihoods in Ouémé Delta of Benin. The project will provide direct support to a local Beninese SME to upscale feed technology innovations and disseminate feed processing technologies to fish farmers and fish processors in Ouémé Delta. This project will benefit local Beninese fish farmers gathered within FENAPIB, the National Federation of Fish Farmers of Benin, with over 3000 members. The dissemination of technologies to produce efficient and affordable fish feeds will accelerate rural development based on this product, and contribute to the livelihoods of all actors in the value chain, from producers to consumers.
