CONTEXT
PSTACI is part of the ‘’Côte d’Ivoire Solidarity’’ Programme in connection with the national Policy for the Development of Livestock, Fisheries and Aquaculture. Its implementation will promote the production of about 500 thousand tons of fish by 2030 and this with a value chain estimated at nearly 825 billion FCFA.
PSTACI aims to lay the foundation for a successful and competitive national aquaculture industry through two (2) projects:
- Projet de Transformation de l’Aquaculture en Côte d’Ivoire ;
- Projet de Vulgarisation des Acquis du Projet de Transformation de l’Aquaculture en Côte d’Ivoire et de mise en place des bases de l’industrialisation aquacole.
Fish now represents more than 50% of animal protein intake but national fish production only covers 14% of the needs of the national population.
Despite its 550 Km fish filled coast, 3400 Km of rivers and its hectares of lakes and lagoons, Côte d’Ivoire imports the majority of cap, tilapia, captains and machoirons expecially from Asia.
To resolve this significant deficit the country has resorted to massive imports of over frozen fish at a cost estimated at more than 300 billions FCFA.
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PSTACI
On Wednesday january 18, 2023 in the council of ministers, the government adopted two programmes :
- National policy for the development of livestock, fisheries and aquaculture in Côte d’Ivoire which will extend over the period 2022-2026
