AquaRech

Aquarech is a technology-driven aquaculture platform that aims to transform the fish farming value chain in Kenya and wider Africa by empowering small and medium‑scale fish farmers with access to high‑quality inputs, tailored technical support, reliable market linkages, and sustainable practices. At its core is a mobile and USSD‑enabled digital ecosystem that links fish farmers, feed manufacturers, traders, and buyers through an integrated marketplace and precision‑farming tools. The platform improves productivity and profitability by providing farmers with quality fish feed and fingerlings, production metrics such as feed conversion ratio and growth rates, and climate‑smart advisory services, while also offering streamlined access to credit solutions like AquaFedha to bridge financing gaps that traditional lenders typically overlook. By reducing production cycles, increasing yields, and strengthening market access, Aquarech helps farmers transition from subsistence to commercial-scale aquaculture, increasing incomes and resilience against risks such as climate change. The platform also promotes gender inclusivity by empowering women fish traders and improving transparency in trading.
