One programme that stands out clearly is fish farming. Ghana has large water bodies in which such farming can be done. Large number of the youth had been trained in fish farming but cannot afford the initial high cost.There are different methods of fish farming, this include the pond, the pen and the cage. The cage system is considered the best considering the cost and management of the resources. All the systems required large capital out lay due to purchase of equipment. The production of tilapia is considered the best as it grows faster compare to other fish varieties and easy to manage.The market for tilapia is very large as the country is not able to meet her fish demand for the past ten years. The country meets only 42% of her fish requirement hence large importation of fish and fish product. Ghanaians prefer tilapia to any other fish because it is readily available. Tilapia is now a delicacy in Ghana as it is serve at weddings, funerals and many other social gatherings.

However it is one of investments opportunities that can generate enough income to cover all expenses and have good profit in the very year of investment. The average return on investment is over 100% per annum.The equipment once purchased last for five years and can produce ten harvests before discarded. It is a good business.Hofac is in contact of all the stakeholders in the industry such Fishery commission, Water resources management at Akosombo and National fish farmers brigade at Juapong and Kpeve.
