With over two decades of specialized expertise, Afraponix stands as a frontrunner in the aquaponics industry across the continent, delivering innovative and sustainable solutions that lead the way in Africa’s agricultural transformation.

Significantly more efficient resource utilization compared to conventional agriculture and aquaculture methods

By integrating fish and plant production in a closed-loop system, our aquaponics solutions reduce water consumption, minimize fertilizer and chemical inputs, and optimize space usage—delivering up to 70% greater efficiency in resource use while promoting sustainable, high-yield food production.

Our aquaponics systems have been expertly developed and deployed in locations including South Africa, Namibia, Mauritius, Zimbabwe, Rwanda, Tunisia, Guinea, St. Croix (US Virgin Islands), and the United States—demonstrating our ability to adapt innovative solutions to varied climates and operational contexts worldwide.

Trusted by governments, non-governmental organizations, and leading commercial enterprises across Africa and beyond
