African Aquaculture has been secured a production licence for 51,000 tonnes of salmon positioning the development as one of the largest aquaculture projects in the southern hemisphere. The farm is planned to be located outside Lüderitz, Namibia, where ocean conditions are considered suitable for salmon, with stable currents and year-round temperatures between 10 to 16°C. The project builds on more than two years of joint development work, where AKVA group and African Aquaculture have adapted the concept and technology to local conditions. Namibia has been highlighted as one of Africa’s most stable democracies, with predictable framework conditions and a strong focus on the environment. The government has recognised the project for its high standards, and it is expected to generate jobs, skills development and export revenues.
