We’re improving efficiencies in the fisheries value chain through the Pond to Plate program, a collaborative effort with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) under our subsidiary company, Grolink. This initiative tackles key challenges faced by smallholder fish farmers, boosting their annual production of table-size fish and creating valuable employment opportunities for the youths.
