Madagascar is rich in fishery resources (fish, crabs, shrimp, oysters and sea cucumbers, etc.). The big island has 5 000 kilometres of coastline consisting of mangroves and coral reefs. This opportunity can bring to Madagascar a sizable source of revenue if we can manage it well, in the direction of sustainable management.
Investment in the fishing industry are little interested investors. Yet the professionalization of fishermen is paramount.
Encourage people to invest in the fishing industry. It is the goal of training on fishing which is held the week last to Ampandrianomby.
"We encourage people to engage in fish farming, because a Malagasy consumes only three kilograms of fish per year. In the islands of the Indian ocean yet, we consume more of 10 kilograms of fish per person per year., has explained Jean Jacques Rasamoel, Secretary-General of the Ministry of fisheries and fishery resources.
The training concerned rice-fish culture, the breeding cage and enclosure as well as the reproduction of fishes. It is organized as a result of aquaculture day in September. "We have decided to participate in this training, the fact that the price of fish on the market continues to climb. It is perhaps profitable for us", Specifies a participant. Investment in fish farming is not very expensive, but the sector is very profitable. "According to the statistics of technicians., one hectare can produce 4 tons of rice by an average of 3.2 millions of Ariary (approximately € 1 000.-). A hectare of fish farming can generate 33 millions of ariary (approximately € 10 000.-), by reason of 5 000 Ariary per kilo, either 10 times more ! A young fish costs about 100 Ariary from producers', has said Jean Jacques Rasamoel.
Professionalization
Most anglers consider fishing as a generator of income. Yet, the existence of associations allows fishermen to find markets. "There are associations who technically help fishermen and their FRY. The authorities are beginning to distribute business cards so that these producers can access to microfinance and the Bank. This helps fishermen to seek partnerships "., has indicated Jean Jacques Rasamoel. The development of the fishing sector is transverse, This included the security and infrastructure. "If there is intersectorality, I think that many farmers will come in the production. According to statistics, Madagascar has 80 000 small-scale fishers in 2014, with a total production of 123 000 tonnes' ended. Fifty people have trained for five days. A second training session will be organised in December 2015.
