Chi Farms Ltd., a leading agribusiness company in Nigeria and a member of TGI Group, is planning to expand its catfish capacity to 600MT per month. This expansion is in line with their aim to satisfy the growing need for catfish in Nigeria.

“We are currently increasing our aquaculture production capacity in a targeted and strategic manner”, Dr. Tunji Olaitan, Managing Director – Chi Farms said. “We are currently operating on a 400MT per month capacity but to actualize our commitment to food production and support in reduction of food importation in Nigeria, these investments have to be made. We should complete this expansion and see significant changes in our production before the end of Q2 2021”, he added.

Head of Department, Aquaculture – Chi Farms, Mr. Lawrence Williams, expressed his excitement about the expansion and added that “the expansion will not only increase the amount of catfish but also provide job opportunities for many working class Nigerians.”

He further stated that “increasing the capacity of catfish production will help fill the gap in terms of demand in the market and enable the exportation of our catfish to different parts of the Africa”.
