About Company

Akikitan Farms is an integrated aquaculture and crop farm located in Lagos, Nigeria. The farm combines fish farming with crop cultivation to maximize land and water use efficiency. By integrating these systems, Akikitan Farms addresses issues such as food insecurity, resource-use inefficiencies, and environmental degradation. The symbiotic relationship between fish and crops reduces the need for chemical inputs, enhances soil fertility, and diversifies income sources for farmers. This innovative approach promotes sustainable agriculture, boosts productivity, and supports biodiversity.
