FEGEOSTOM fish farm is Located in Iguoriakhi community of Ovia South West Local Government Area of Edo State, Benin City. Though there are other fish farms around in Benin city, ours is unique because we want to be able to offer fresh, processed and contaminant-free fish products to our consumers.
In rearing fish and selling them, we are concerned with the state of the fishes as well, making sure they are nourished and well taken care of.
As you may be aware that fishes are great sources of proteins, minerals and essential fatty acids, we are selecting the best food processing techniques to ensure that a greater percentage of the nutrients are retained in the processed products.
Our location is a sparsely populated area with lots of available land for erecting the fish farm and siting a bore hole. It has a nearby water way to easily channel the wastewater into. Its low human population density means there are low levels of pollution and the air is well filtered by the rich abundance of natural vegetation.
There’s also less operation of machinery with a moderate supply of electricity and a good road assess. Our fishes don’t have any issues with environmental poisoning.
We always have positive reviews when consumers use our products, and these have been our marketing strategy. As our customers have been able to sell us out through word of mouth, we are also available on social media where we engage our customers more to serve them better and market our products.

Location
Most fish farms are sited in towns where there are poor drainages, such that stenches emanate from the wastewater and cause air pollution and discomfort to the town’s residents. The fishes may not get clean air as the atmosphere is polluted with gases from vehicles and generators.

The wastewater can easily be drained, and the stench controlled such that we don’t pose a health risk to the community. The abundance of natural vegetation and less operation of engines provide a clean, refreshing atmosphere. Hence, our fishes are free from contamination.
