Yesterday, The Aquaculture Consortium (TAC), led by our Group CEO Mr. Felix Osok, alongside COO Kennedy Comba, Marketing Associate Virginia Kasyoka, Outreach & Extension Manager Sabila Kassim, and Sales & Marketing Manager Eugeine Wasuna, witnessed a significant milestone; the signing of an memorandum of understanding (MOU) between TAC and Bukura Agricultural College (BAC). This partnership formalizes our collaboration, opening doors for impactful initiatives in research, innovation, and capacity building within the aquaculture sector. Key areas of cooperation include: ✅ Blended finance opportunities – Driving research and development growth in aquaculture within the lake region. ✅ Training & capacity building – Enhancing best practices in aquaculture, feed innovation, and fish health & welfare. ✅ Industrial exposure – BAC students will gain hands-on training at Jumbo Fish Farm, a TAC facility in the region. ✅ Research & innovation – Joint projects aimed at boosting productivity and sustainability in the sector. ✅ Extension services – Strengthening knowledge transfer to farmers and industry stakeholders. We were warmly received by Mr. Joseph Mutuku, Head of Research, Innovation & Collaborations, Mr. ronald kibet, Agricultural Engineer, and Acting Principal Mr. John Suge. During our visit, we also explored BAC’s fish ponds, a testament to their commitment to practical learning in aquaculture. This collaboration marks a step forward in bridging industry and academia, ensuring a sustainable future for aquaculture through knowledge sharing, skills development, and innovation. #PartnershipForImpact #AquacultureInnovation #CapacityBuilding #IndustryAndAcademia #SustainableFisheries Jumbo Fish Farm Char Freshy Vemric Fish Processors Viking Feeds Kamida Enterprises Limited

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.
