Gold mining company in Africa invests in aquaculture project

Anglogold Ashanti (AGA), the largest gold mining company in the Ghana, Africa, invested US$550,000 for an ultra modern project in Humasi, in the Ashanti region.

The project is ongoing, with full operations expected to start in the next three years.

Asare Bediako, project manager, said the project will allocate requisite training to beneficiaries in modern aquaculture which will run for at least 10 years.

Bediako expressed that this particular initiative would aid people in the African community to learn modern fish farming so they can start their own farms later.

AGA will identify groups to become part of the project. Once the groups will be trained, they will be assisted technically and financially to establish their own farms.
