Nigeria’s fish production is facing significant challenges due to high feed costs and limited access to financing, according to the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Dr. Adegboyega Oyetola. The Minister revealed this during the inauguration of the Technical Committee on Accelerating Fish Production in Nigeria, held in Abuja on Thursday. These issues are posing a threat to the nation’s ability to meet domestic fish demand. The newly formed committee is tasked with finding solutions to boost fish output and address the obstacles faced by fish farmers. Details of the committee’s specific strategies were not immediately released. The government acknowledges the importance of fish as a crucial component of national food security. Addressing these challenges is vital for sustainable growth within the sector.
