Progress on aquaculture parks encouraging-Chikote
MacPherson Mukuka-Fisheries and Livestock Minister MAKOZO CHIKOTE says government has made progress in the development of Aquaculture Parks in the Country.
Delivering a ministerial statement in Parliament today, Mr. CHIKOTE said once the Parks are completed, they will help in reducing the fish deficit the country is facing.
The Minister said the Aquaculture Parks will also provide opportunities for social economic development and improve livelihood of Zambians.
Mr. CHIKOTE said so far, five Parks in Mungwi, Samfya, Kafue, Kasempa and Mushindamo districts are under construction.
He said Government has renegotiated the contract costs for each site to ensure the works are completed.
