The terms are you pay 120k then your given a fish pond which holds about 1000-1500 cat fish. The fish weigh btwn 1-1.4kg each when they are ready for sale. The company Joy fish farm buys the fish at 140Ksh or is it 150Ksh per Kg. Alternatively they come and set up the fish pond in your land you pay the 120K and they train your caretaker when the fish areready for harvesting which is btwn 9-10mths you can decide to sell to them or find your own market. Was actually surprised most of the fillet Kenyans eat is cat fish....
Assuming after the fish rearing period you get 1000 fish from your pond weighing 1.4kg average.
You get 1000*1.4*140 = Ksh 196000
I'm working with minimum, it could be more. I'm actually surprised wazuarians don know abt it.
Thought most of the fillet is Nile Perch? Whose quantities are very depleted and demand by the filleting companies high.
Can Nile Perch servive in Fish Ponds? Cause if they can, there is guaranteed demand.
As for the taste, they are quite different, for the expert eaters, but considering that most of it is filleted and refrigirated
