Fish Farming : My Fish Stolen!

 I managed to raise my fish in 2 ponds almost for a whole year ( 10 months)r. Had stocked tilapia  and my total fish was totaling to 9000. Was expecting to harvest minimum of 4 tons of fish that would have fetched me minimum of 30millions. 

Most of my fish had grown to 500gm minimum wait. I spent some good millions of money to feed them for all this time.But what a loss. Fish farming would be lucrative business but save for such risks. We need government to help us in this case like me . Am lonely fish farmer in this part of the country and very vulnerable to thieves. This happened when  when i had contacted buyers for my fish. I may not rule out even those whom i contacted and could have prayed on my farm. 


Am intending to turn this farm into tourism attraction for local people and even foreign tourists. But what a loss to me to even the community . The local community were having employment and were being trained on how to rare fish . Our area has this potential of raring fish other than relying on cattle farming. Cattle farming is the most business activity of th people of Kiruhura  district. By diverting to another income business activity for natives would give them a variety to choose from.

 Fish farming takes a small acreage  where one can raise fish. While cattle farming livestock require lots of land. Fish  will only take small portion. This if integrated in the already farms established will improve income of the communities and give employment to many people. 

Fish farming need good security to make sure all thieves , predators, birds, and human beings.

Fish Farming in Uganda

 Fish  farming in Uganda is not yet taken up as a business venture of which people can use to get out of poverty. Uganda is endowed with rich water bodies and swamps that can make fish farming a success story in Uganda. Fish is consumed highly in Uganda and can be Exported  to mant outside countries where it will fetch foreign currencies for the country.

Fish exports of recent had become  the second largest foreign income earner in Uganda after coffee.  But then after realized that fish had that potential  then over fishing was done on fishing bodies and fish got depleted. Uganda govermnet is doing all it takes to make sure that lakes get rest and fish grow and enough fish can caught to be sold and exported. 

Fish directly furnishes the economic welfare of over 2 million Ugandans through employment and as a livelihood besides providing food security as a critically required protein for about 34.5 million Ugandans.
With increasing population growth and increasing awareness of the nutritional superiority of fish the world over, the demand for fish will certainly continue to grow. Growing fish (Fish farming) rather than hunting for fish (capture fisheries) provides a more reliable source of fish and is the only envisaged solution to bridge the existing gap between fish production and demand. Nonetheless, Uganda is yet to realize substantial fish production from fish farming due to lack of adequate capacity in all aspects.

We at Right choice fish farming in Kiruhura have prepared ponds and have already started producing fish for local consumers and selling to surrounding markets. We are focusing on raring #tilapia and #cut fish. Our water ponds was checked at Kanjasi fish farming project and and was found to be very good for fish farming. We also ntend to be conducting faring tours  for Uganda safaris to potential people wiling to learn our fish farming project.

Fred Bukeya recently engaged in fish farming in Kiruhura district.  The project is farming fish in ponds and he is progressing on well. Fish farming is another business people should be engaged in as it solves employment and helps to improve Uganda food basket.Uganda is famous with fresh water lakes. However all our lakes have been over fished and less fish is being caught and sold to market to satisfy Uganda fish market. Hence need to start fish farming project.
