    Over the past week, our team from Jumbo Fish Farm, led by CEO Felix Osok, COO Kennedy Comba, and Hatchery & Technical Manager FREDRICK OUMA, embarked on an insightful tour of Norway’s aquaculture sector. This visit was part of a feasibility study sponsored by Norec, hosted by Val Skoler AS, and included participants from Jumbo Fish Farm and AquaFind AS. One of the highlights of the trip was our visit to Svaberget Smolt AS, where we learned about their advanced RAS (Recirculating Aquaculture System) hatchery. Under the guidance of Edgar Hermanstad Dahl, we explored how this state-of-the-art facility produces high-quality Atlantic salmon smolt with remarkable efficiency. The hatchery leverages RAS technology to maintain optimal water quality, oxygen levels, and temperature while significantly reducing water usage. Their commitment to data-driven operations stood out—real-time monitoring of metrics like feed intake, water quality, and growth rates ensures precision farming and sustainability. Key Lessons Learned 1. Efficiency Through Technology: The integration of RAS technology allows Svaberget Smolt to optimize smolt production while conserving resources. 2. Data-Driven Growth: The facility’s reliance on real-time data monitoring ensures operational precision and supports fish welfare. 3. Sustainability: Their practices align with global goals for sustainable aquaculture, minimizing environmental impact while maintaining productivity. Svaberget Smolt AS operates as part of the Sinkaberg AS Hansen network, which integrates hatcheries, grow-out farms, and processing facilities. This seamless value chain exemplifies innovation, sustainability, and efficiency at all levels of production. Takeaways for Kenya This visit provided invaluable insights for our team at JFF, laying the foundation for advancing technologies and data-driven practices in Kenya. These innovations will enhance efficiency, sustainability, and scalability in aquaculture operations while balancing automation with the need to sustain employment opportunities. By leveraging smart systems, we aim to improve productivity, operations, and logistics across the value chain for the benefit of humanity. We are grateful to Norec for sponsoring this feasibility study and to Val Skoler AS for hosting us. This collaboration strengthens our commitment to fostering a resilient and sustainable aquaculture ecosystem in both Kenya and Norway.

    The Aquaculture Consortium (TAC) participated in creating awareness about omena, which brought together academia specializing in omena and fisheries regulators, including the kenya fisheries service kefs the Kenya Marine and Fisheries Research Institute (KMFRI) OFFICIAL . The event was organized by the Madaraka Festival team During the Summit, our CEO, Mr. Felix Osok , discussed the challenges faced by the private sector in sourcing clean and sustainable omena, the gaps in value addition, and how poor raw materials lead to a disconnect in market linkages. The CEO of Madaraka Festival, Mr. Simon Okelo, pledged to promote omena through the festival, with the aim of making the industry more profitable and sustainable. Prof. Julius Manyala highlighted the nutritional value of omena and explained its potential to contribute to sustainable food security, emphasizing its viability as a renewable resource. Meanwhile, Paul Obama, an officer from KeFS, addressed stakeholders in the omena value chain, stressing the importance of adhering to regulatory frameworks and ensuring traceability by registering as a value chain player. The afternoon session concluded with a vibrant showcase of youth talent in music. During this session, we continued to raise awareness about omena, allowing participants to sample ready-to-eat omena and offering prizes such as a fully paid holiday at our aqua-tourism boutique facility and paid internships for aquaculture students. #charfreshy #MadarakaFestival #omena #vemricprocessedomena #Kenya Vemric Fish Processors Nicholas Outa Erick Ogello (PhD)

  • We had the pleasure of hosting Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO ) and Danish Technical University (DTU) representatives as they explored our facility, selected for the NAVAC project. This initiative aims to develop sustainable aquatic food value chains to provide nutritious diets for vulnerable communities. We had meaningful discussions on scaling up Omena production and how nutritious foods like Omena (dagaa) can benefit those in need. Excited to continue shaping this project and making a positive impact! FAO #SustainableFood #FoodSecurity #omena #kenya
