Description (French)
CLFN construit une serre d’un hectare qui permettra à la communauté de produire 275 000 livres de tilapia frais par an et une variété de légumes verts (laitue, chou frisé, roquette, épinards) et de plantes grimpantes (tomates, concombres et poivrons) sur une base hebdomadaire. L’entreprise offrira d’importantes possibilités d’emploi aux membres de la communauté pendant la construction de l’installation et des possibilités d’emploi à temps plein et à temps partiel une fois que l’installation aura atteint sa pleine capacité de production. En outre, l’entreprise produira des bénéfices annuels que la communauté pourra utiliser pour d’autres opportunités de développement économique ou pour l’expansion de l’entreprise. Cette nouvelle entreprise nécessitera, dans un premier temps, l’apport d’une expertise technique pour aider à la formation et à la gestion.
