Why is the sector relevant for Ghana
• Marine sector provides highest income in the whole agric economy
• Ghana is still not self sufficient in Fish Production• Fish requirement in Ghana far outweighs the supply. • Surplus is made up from fish imports-Loss of
revenue to Ghana• Ghana has rich fishing grounds which lacks added
value • The Ministry of Agriculture has put emphasis on
Fish production• Marine Sector has no barriers to entry, Government
is a regulator-law is skewed in the private sector favor
Opportunities within the Fish Sector
• Production of Fish Feed• Reducing Post harvest losses -
establishing cold chain facility• Production of quality fingerlings for
aquaculture• Financial services• Education and Training – Technical
advisory services• Fish Processing• Marine Fishing
SWOT – Fish Sector of Ghana
STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES
Access to large regional market
Government committed to create enabling environment for investors
GIPC to facilitate investments
Politically stable
Emerging financial sector
No firm regulations in place for aquaculture
Weak aquaculture advisory services and input supply
OPPORTUNITIES THREATS
Rapidly growing demand higher than production
Farm gate price higher than world market price (high demand )
Social and economic conditions improving
Large areas of water and land available for aquaculture
A number local potential investment partners
Potential reduced price for Tilapia if production increase significantly
Price drop to international level can be expected
Several investors already established and production could expand rapidly
