Bright Yeboah: Ghana’s Aquaculture industry set on a recovery path after a double blow (My Joy Online) 

My Joy (Ghana) published an article that after a decade of tremendous growth in production, Ghana’s tilapia farmers have been hit with severe setbacks in the last two years and those setbacks are due to disease.  Poor biosecurity measures are exposing most farms to this tragedy.  Senior Research Fellow  and project lead on the TiSeed, Catherine Ragasa says, “a lot can be done to save the situation and alleviate the suffering of farmers through the provision of technical support to distressed farmers.” IFPRI, with partners, is leading an effort in helping small scale Tilapia farmers to promote the adoption of best aquaculture management practices for increased productivity.
