408/2 - Promotion of Sustainable Commercial Aquaculture in Sub-Saharan Africa : Investment and Economic Feasibility

This volume discusses the difficult access to investment capital, one of the major obstacles to the development of sustainable commercial aquaculture in sub-Saharan Africa. The problem arises from a lack of collateral, excessively high interest rates on loans, bankers' perceptions that aquaculture carries a particularly high risk of failure, a lack of knowledge, by farmers, of the modalities of applying for loans and, on the part of lenders, a lack of or limited information on commercially successful aquaculture enterprises in the region.Hishamunda, Nathanaël is the author of '408/2 - Promotion of Sustainable Commercial Aquaculture in Sub-Saharan Africa : Investment and Economic Feasibility', published 2002 under ISBN 9789251048337 and ISBN 9251048339.
