Fish ponds are a great way to raise food for our children's home and also a way of generating Kenyan shillings to purchase food and clothing for the children.
Tilapiines are among the easiest and most profitable fish to farm due to their omnivorous diet, tolerance of high stocking density, and rapid growth. They are rich in protein.
Here's the 'math' on TILAPIA:
1 fingerling grows to edible size (15 -18 cm, 6 - 7 inches) in 3 months.
1 fingerling costs 10 cents to purchase
1 fingerling costs 10 cents to raise with 'feed' and 30 cents for all other costs
1 grown fish sells for ... $3.00 at the market (300 KSH)
Profit: .... $2.50 per fingerling
It is time to invest !
