Since 2015, Nutreco and Skretting have partnered on the Catfish Sustainability Project (CSP) in Nigeria, with excellent success. Through this project, we are working to enhance the production, profitability and environmental sustainability of the catfish business in the Ibadan region, while empowering small farmers to raise themselves out of poverty. CSP was funded by Nutreco and Skretting Nigeria and facilitated by the Justice, Development and Peace Commission (JDPC).

Over the years, we have helped participating farmers’ integrate best management practices and improve the sustainability of their businesses through training, advisory services and learning visits.

The training on cooperative management, savings and credit the farmers receive through the project has helped them form cooperatives. An increase in farmer-to-farmer knowledge sharing within the groups has also been actualised.
