Contract Farming and Public-Private Partnerships in Aquaculture

Lessons Learned from East African Countries

Edited by Food and Agriculture Organization

This report presents the lessons learned from a project in four East African countries - Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda - focusing on youth and their agribusinesses. In Burundi and Rwanda, poultry and eggs were sold to retailers but were also provided to schools to alleviate malnutrition. In Kenya and Uganda, the focus was on fish farming, raising finfish in cages and selling fingerlings. As a result, partnering with private companies enabled young people to obtain business and technical knowledge in addition to a market for their produce.
