My name is Akintoye Olamilekan, my project has been in existence under 3 years now, which is fish farming and it is a sustainable and lucrative business, but that does not mean it doesn't have it own challenges. Which i may explain in future.
01.01 Décrivez votre startup en détail
My startup business is fish farming, is a business that is lucrative and profitable if when practice well, because, fish farming require "technical know how" i.e(to understand some things right before going into the business) as to minimize cost and to avoid wastage of resources, as someone that has been in the business under 3years now, i can handle fish farming from the point of pond construction to the point of selling the fish. However, fish farming is a type of business that doesn't go off season, it serve all year round if suitable land is selected for the production, because that is the first step if a farmer want better yield at the end of the production, with the assurance that pond (fish farming business) can serve all year round it gives the farmer joy that whether we are in raining or drying season production continues(only if the right land is procured for the pond construction as said earlier),fish farming is a renewable and sustainable practice.
01.02 Quel est le problème principal que vous essayez de résoudre ?
Fish farming have it's own problems, but, the main problem i will like to solve is seedling collection. I will be interested in seedling collection(fingerlings, juvenile, post juvenile, jumbo e. t .c) , this is where wastage of resources and loss of cost of production comes in, if care is not taken, because we have farmers that have low or no experience about seedling, and when they get seedling from fish hatcher the seedling maybe runt or infected seedling but they won't be able to identify it, but, if they are educated on it, it won't be a problem for them. I will be interest in solving seedling collection for farmer, by educating them on how to identify runt and infected seedlings, because it will help them to avoid wastage of resources (money, feed, time and even stress), if good seedling is procure there is assurance of good yield at the end of production. There are other problems that is attached to fish farming but seedling is very important to be taken of.

The reason for my answer above, is because agriculture at large is an industry that provide food, employment, and shelter for people especially fish farming, we have so many unit in fish farming . There are some people that venture into fish processing ,some are into fish hatching while some are into pond construction. And all these unit fetch money into people`s pocket, because they will definitely be needed when talking of fish farming, and of which when practice well and done well it ENDS POVERTY.
