The OIE seminar for the Aquatic Animal National Focal Points was held in Accra on 20-22 March 2012. Funded under BTSF funds (EU-DG-SANCO). The Focal points of 38 countries attended the seminar (only 4 FP were unable to attend).
The training started with a field visit to a commercial aquatic farm (TROPO), which managed all the production line (from eggs to final Tilapia product). Production is currently reaching 4,000 tons of fish per year. The afternoon was devoted to the visit of the regional research center for Tilapia, which is providing support to the countries of the area (Mali, Benin, Cameroon and Côte d’Ivoire).
