The International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) is a specialised agency of the United Nations dedicated to eradicating rural poverty in developing countries. In Kenya, the fund invests in the development of the aquaculture sector.

Larive has been engaged by IFAD to conduct a market survey on the status of the Kenyan aquaculture sector and the main impediments to growth.

The market survey covered an analysis of the current and future demand for aquaculture fish species (by type of market) in Kenya, export potential for farmed fish, technological development, SWOT analysis, comparison with best practices (Egypt case) and recommendations to attract investment.
