In a proactive effort to enhance disease prevention and treatment in Eswatini’s aquaculture sector, the Aquaculture Department recently conducted an advanced training program on tilapia disease management at the Matsapha Taiwan Technical Mission. The training saw the participation of 30 officials and technicians from the Ministry of Agriculture Fisheries Section.

This collaboration, initiated by the Eswatini Ministry of Agriculture in conjunction with the Taiwan Ministry of Agriculture and the Taiwan Technical Mission, aims to equip professionals with the necessary skills and knowledge to address challenges in commercial fish farming effectively.

With the impending inauguration of the Malkerns Aquaculture Center, Eswatini’s aquaculture industry is on the brink of entering a new era of sustainable development. The training program underscores the government’s commitment to fostering innovation and capacity-building initiatives to ensure the long-term viability and success of the aquaculture sector.

By empowering professionals with advanced techniques and expertise in disease prevention and treatment, Eswatini is poised to enhance its competitiveness in the global aquaculture market while contributing to food security and economic growth.
