Bolena Tilapia is dedicated to revolutionizing fish farming in the region by addressing the critical issue of overfishing and providing an abundant supply of freshwater tilapia to local and international markets.
aquaculture as a viable solution
The tilapia is a warm freshwater fish from Africa. It has a short body covered in small scales and a long dorsal fin. It has been successfully farmed in tropical regions because it is hardy, breeds well, and grows quickly.
Future of Aquaculture in East Africa
Bolena, a beacon of sustainability, women, and community empowerment, is situated along the picturesque shores of Lake Victoria in Siaya County, Kenya. We take pride in being a 100% women-owned enterprise, with a workforce of over 50% women. It was founded over a decade ago, and we have evolved from a fish producer into a holistic aquaculture enterprise, proudly introducing a hatchery and fish feed mill to our operations.
