The aquaculture sector is expanding worldwide; motivated by the blue economy and the needs for food and nutrition security to an ever growing population. This trend is still at an early stage in Kenya. One of the aims of a project called 3RKenya is to explore core enabling factors for commercialization of the aquaculture sector in Kenya. (See: https://www.3r-kenya.org/aquaculture-publications/).

Cage farming
Cage farming in Kenya is expanding substantially in Lake Victoria and regulations and planning to monitor environmental impacts are urgently needed. Given the high number of new investors, cage farming is expected to highly contribute to aquaculture supply in the future. It is advised that future investors in aquaculture in Kenya should target the most critical enabling factors.
