Zimbabwe faces a fish supply gap of about 41.7%

The investment will support capacity growth in Morocco and push expansion across Sub-Saharan Africa.

This will be a 0.3% increase from the previous fishing season.

The facility has entered the operational phase.

This milestone reflects a broader shift toward regional manufacturing of animal health products across Africa and the Middle East.

JA26 brings U.S. and partner medical and veterinary teams together to strengthen military partnerships and boost readiness for humanitarian, crisis response, and UN/AU peacekeeping missions.

Industry stakeholders say the change could raise feed costs by around 3–6%.

The hatchery is expected to produce up to 40 million baby fish (fry) every year.

Feed accounts for 60-70% of production costs, and this approach could reduce dependence on conventional feed inputs by 30-40%.

Well-managed feedlots can generate annual returns of 15–25%, supported by short production cycles and rising demand for finished animals.
