The Aquaculture Consortium

Happy Holidays from TAC! ✨🎄  As we wrap up another year, we reflect on the incredible strides made in strengthening the fish farming value chain—from fingerling production to feed, distribution, cold chain management, fish processing, and trading.  This year, we’ve scaled smallholder farmers' productivity, enhanced food security, and driven sustainable growth in the industry. 🌍🐟  Thank you to our dedicated farmers, partners, and employees for your unwavering support and collaboration. Looking ahead to 2025, we’re excited to continue advancing our mission—tackling critical food systems challenges, promoting environmental responsibility, and creating lasting value for all. Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful holiday season and a prosperous New Year!  #Aquaculture #Sustainability #ValueChainDevelopment

Reflections on Kennedy Comba’s Address at WRI Africa’s Global Event 🌱 At The Aquaculture Consortium (TAC), we are deeply committed to tackling the critical issue of food loss and waste (FLW) across our value chains. Today, our COO, Kennedy Comba, had the honor of speaking at a prestigious global event hosted by WRI Africa, where he shared the challenges and progress of our partners—Vemric Fish, Kamida Ltd, Viking Agri-Venture, and Jumbo Fish Farm.The journey isn’t without its hurdles, from fish spoilage at Vemric to post-harvest losses at Jumbo Fish Farm. Yet, our shared drive toward sustainability propels us forward. By embracing the WRI FLW measurement protocol, we are not only identifying and tracking these losses but actively working to reduce them. Tools like the AgriGrowth app and our collaborations with Val School and ASDSP II are making a real impact.We echo Kennedy’s call to industry leaders—collaboration is key. Let’s unite in sharing data, strategies, and insights to pave the way for a sustainable future for all. 🌱✨ #Sustainability #FoodWasteReduction #Aquaculture #Agriculture #Innovation #GlobalPartnerships #TAC #WRI #SustainableFuture
