Ghana’s 550km of coastline and 8,520 square km of water surface area provide an abundance of marine life (particularly tuna), aquaculture and inland fish species.  Opportunities exist in harvesting and processing of tuna and various marine and aquaculture species as well as establishment of aquaculture (fish farms).

The seafood sector is quickly emerging as one of Ghana’s most important industries. The various segments of the industry – processing, transport, storage, and marketing – provide jobs, incomes and a steady food supply. The industry has led to the growth of cluster industries such as boat construction, boating supplies, and fishing equipment. Processed seafood exports need to be increased

Opportunities
Major opportunities exist in the harvesting and processing of tuna and various aquaculture species, as well as the inland cultivation of tilapia and perch. In addition, local seafood enterprises are seeking ventures with foreign partners to upgrade current operations and increase output, including the introduction of modern vessels; advanced tracking, capture, processing and packaging equipment; accessories such as block/flake/crushed ice machines; and increasing cold storage capacity.
