      • Following my business visit to Uganda late October 2007, I had meetings with two major fish processing

companies in the country.

During my discussions I was asked to find strategic investment/operating partners from South Africa with the following objectives in mind:-  

(1). Acquisition of a major fish processing operation ( Gomba Fishing Industries Limited) with a turnover of USD 10-12 million per year.The company exports       to Europe,Asia etc..The processing capacity of the fish processing operation is 60-100 MT of fish per day.The operation      is compliant with EU standards.Owner and CEO has indicated that value adding opportunities are possible.      The Chinese are interest in the acquisition but owner would prefer an Sa buyer.  

(2). Identification of an SA partner that can provide the technical know how and equipment to manufacture fish feeds in Uganda.      

The company in question ( Fourways Investments Limited)  has two major fish processing facilities in Entebbe, Uganda  

Should there be interest from potential partners in SA, please make urgent contact with

  • Abbamoco Ltd
    Aquaculture Fish Farming Project seeks business Partner to help develop fish farming property.
    Abbamoco Ltd is a aquaculture Fish Farming company in Uganda, has two Valley dams of 20 acres each seeks a business partner to develop pen culture fish farming. The fish hatchery is economically viable; there is less supply of fish fry/fingerlings in the region. African cat fish fingerlings are needed to be used as baits to catch the Nile Perch in lakes of Uganda and used in fish farms as well. The Nile Tilapia fingerlings are also 
    needed to stock farms.
    The hatchery is planned to produce 30,000 fingerlings and each is sold at 300 Uganda Shillings per month. It shall be expanded to 50,000 fingerlings. We shall be able to get 9-15 Million Uganda Shillings about USD 5172.4 to USD 8620.7 per month. Rate: 1740 Ug shs to 1 USD.

Marketing of fingerlings to the fishermen and farmers shall be conducted on TV, Radio and Brochures
FISH FARM

We intend to produce 10 tons of fish monthly and each ton is at Ug shs.2, 000,000 - (USD 1149.42).

INTERNAL MARKETS
Much of the fish produced from the largest lakes, Lake Victoria, is restricted to urban centers of Kampala and surrounding urban centers.  However most regions are distant from the major lakes and
These lakes are also declining which is forcing people to eat bones from factories so fish farming can be sustainably applied as an alternative fish source.
Uganda is surrounded by neighbors who are not endowed with natural fish resources, Dr Congo Rwanda and the Sudan. These countries have recognized fish eating culture and they offer much higher prices for fish than the internal markets. The global demand and price of fish is on the increase and fish expert is second in foreign exchange earning in Uganda. There are fifteen fish processing plants operating under capacity in Uganda. Aquaculture is the main alternative to help the factories to run their  day to day processing program.

FEEDS AND FISH PROCESSING.
Feeds are formulated and pelleted to avoid polluting the water and efficient consumption. Feed ingredients are local raw materials; they include rice bran, fish meal, blood meal, brewery masts, maize bran, sunflower cake, cotton seed cake. These are organic products contain 
no chemical components. Fish shall also be processed by chilling, freezing, smoking salting 
and sun drying depending on the consumer demands. No chemical components shall be used in the production and processing of our fish.
