The objective is to cultivate red tilapia, promote aquaculture in the urban area and provide farmers with red tilapia fingerlings. Comas n.v. is the only farm cultivating shrimp. NV De Palm is also in the establishment phase and cultivates red tilapia. In the future it is also planned that local fish species will be cultivated. Comfish NV produces red tilapia in tanks and is already exporting the product.
Production capacity is unknown.
The aquaculture section of the Department of Fisheries tries to improve public services, especially for small-scale farmers. The shrimp caught by the trawlers is processed at two processing plants. The company provides its services to fishing companies who then market their processed products. Only a small portion of the shrimp is sold locally. The main export market is Japan.
