Sustainable innovation at the heart of food security in Côte d’Ivoire
In the face of growing challenges related to food security in Côte d’Ivoire and the environmental impact of traditional aquaculture, the Franco-Ivorian company O’Marigot positions itself as a key player in sustainable innovation within this sector. Through a cutting-edge technological approach, this company aims to revolutionize fish farming in the country while ensuring environmentally friendly production.
A sustainable vision for ivorian aquaculture
Founded by nature enthusiasts, O’Marigot is committed to transforming the Ivorian fish farming industry by leveraging advanced technology and practices that respect the local ecosystem. “Our goal is to create a sustainable aquaculture model that meets the growing food needs of the country while preserving natural resources,” explains Koffi Omar, co-founder of O’Marigot.
Technological innovation: Floating ponds as a future solution
The key innovation of O’Marigot lies in the use of floating pond farming systems. This process not only allows for more efficient production but also optimized water resource management. Each installation is equipped with smart sensors that monitor water quality, fish growth, and environmental conditions in real time. “Our system offers a comprehensive solution to fish farmers by providing accurate, real-time data to optimize their production,” says Boniface N’Cho, Director of Innovation at O’Marigot.
O’Marigot’s model success: A successful pilot site
O’Marigot’s production model has already proven its effectiveness with a successful first phase of testing at the Ranch du Jourdain pilot site. Through partnerships with local fish farmers and development organizations, the company plans to scale this technology across all floating ponds. “We want to enable every Ivorian fish farmer to increase their productivity while reducing their ecological impact,” adds Boniface N’Cho.
Training and Support: Empowering ivorian fish farmers
O’Marigot is not only innovating on the technological front; the company also places training and support for fish farmers at the heart of its mission. A dedicated training program will be implemented to assist producers in adopting these new methods. “We want the Ivorian fish farmers on our site to be the drivers of this transformation. That’s why we support them at every step, from equipment installation to marketing their production,” emphasizes Boniface N’Cho.
Strategic Partnerships: Towards sustainable aquaculture in Côte d’Ivoire
Finally, O’Marigot continues to develop new partnerships to strengthen its impact. Among its recent collaborations is engagement with local and international investors, as well as public institutions, to make Côte d’Ivoire a model of sustainable aquaculture in West Africa.
