Aquarech, a fisheries platform founded by Dave Okech, James Odede, and Joseph Okoth in 2019, is driving the growth of aquaculture in Kenya. With the country's population on the rise, disposable incomes increasing, and awareness of fish's health benefits growing, demand for fish is soaring. Aquarech connects fish farmers, feed manufacturers, and buyers through its mobile application, facilitating trade and building trust among stakeholders. As Kenya's first platform to foster long-term partnerships between fishermen, fish feed dealers, and aquaculture businesses, it also introduces best practices for fish farming and revenue-enhancing methods to feed manufacturers, farmers, and buyers.
Due to insufficient funding for fish farmers, Aquarech offers a 90-day credit period for small-scale farmers to pay for feed costs, promising comprehensive support. A report by The International Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Studies suggests that improving the quality and formulation of fish feeds used in Kenya can boost productivity and reduce costs. Establishing fish feed standards will ensure that farmers have access to high-quality feeds.
