Marine Tilapia Industry

The development of enabling infrastructure to support the first transformative Marine Tilapia Industry cluster, and associated rural agrarian value-chain – the Agri-corridor – within the Mbhashe Municipal district, representing a template for expansion into other rural municipal districts in the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal. The initiative aims to establish a new, sustainable and inclusive green growth aquaculture industry along the east coast of South Africa, producing the least cost whitefish protein in South Africa as a hedge against diminishing and unaffordable wild captured marine fish protein and other meat proteins which have become unaffordable for the majority of consumers.
