Hello sir,

Sorry for the late reply to your email, I just got back from holiday and sent you an email.

I am not based in Nigerian, but I am willing to share my own idea on way forward for the fisherman and also can support with inputs on how things should be done.
I am totally sad and unhappy with the way catfish farmer are unable to unite having one voice, one price in selling out fish per kg. They just made the fisher seller extra rich while the farmers doing all the extra work e.g buying fish feed, changing water, petrol and so on and so forth, before the fish attains a table size to be sold and fish women will giving you the supplier (The farmer) rate to sell your product all because you want to sell or in need of Money… Imagine them iya elja buying fish for N450 from you and selling at the rate of N1000 or N1500 then who has profit in the business?
To what I was I told they don’t buy feeds to feed the fish from the moments they left your farm to sell and you have to do the math how much you spent in 4-5 months and how much you gain at harvest.
Enough of my story I think the fish farmers needs to be educated and give support to most of them who are not financially stable so they won’t sell their stocks at giveaway price.
I am willing to work with any committed Nigerian to make changes in creating a very strong and accessible platform for the fish farmers to have a fixed price so they can enjoy the fruits of their labour.
Solution: is creating a Database Platform to have all fisherman on which information can be easily passed around to their mobile phones or email to keep them alert and update on lock up price to sell fish per kg this will bring more profits to fish farmer pockets and eradicates the Iya elaja from cheating on local farmers.
This is just my opinion and supports. All the farmers needs is one Voice

Note: Not sure if any one reading this can be helpful to send me business plan on fruits imporation to Lagos .
