Why TAC
The Aquaculture & Blue Economy Consortium (TAC) is an integrated aquaculture and blue economy ecosystem builder and operator working across production, feed systems, processing, farmer integration, investment readiness, digital infrastructure and market access.
Rather than operating as a standalone business, TAC has deliberately built specialised operating companies and strategic partnerships that address critical bottlenecks across the aquaculture value chain. Together, these enterprises create a scalable, investment-ready and commercially resilient ecosystem that reduces sector risk, strengthens food security, improves farmer incomes, attracts capital and accelerates sustainable aquaculture growth across East Africa.
