Efforts to keep shrimp catches in Cameroon at current levels while strengthening the shrimp fishery were in the spotlight today at the handover of a report by the global fish value chain development program FISH4ACP that is helping the country to make its shrimp sector stronger and to lessen its impact on the environment.   

“Shrimp is our main seafood export product. It brings economic revenues and contributes to the livelihood of many people,” said Dr Taiga, Minister of Livestock, Fisheries and Animal Industries today, accepting the FISH4ACP report “Large shrimp value chain in Cameroon”. Dr Taiga added: “However, we need to keep shrimp stocks stable to safeguard this important resource for future generations.”
