About the Session
Fish remains the cheapest source of good protein in the diet of a greater population of
Nigerians, and its quality, in terms of nutritional value, is impressive because of its rich
display of amino acids (protein/bodybuilder). Of even greater impact is the affordability of
the protein source, as it is cheaper than beef, pork, and other meat sources.
This session provides a detailed context on the business opportunities in this value
chain and provides insight on ways and what is required to start a thriving fish
enterprise.
