About Us

At Visiwani Sea Cucumber Farming Limited, we offer comprehensive support for every stage of establishing sea cucumber farms. Our services include initial consultations and feasibility studies to assess the viability of sea cucumber farming in specific locations.

We provide expert guidance on site selection, taking into account factors such as water quality, temperature, salinity, and accessibility. Our team assists in obtaining necessary permits and regulatory approvals, designs customized farm layouts optimized for efficiency and sustainability, sources high-quality seed stock, and implements best practices for sea cucumber cultivation.

We offer ongoing support and training to ensure successful farm operation and management, including advice on water quality management, feed optimization, disease prevention, and harvesting techniques.

In addition to sea cucumber farming, we also specialize in seaweed farming, with a particular focus on empowering women in this sector. We believe in providing equal opportunities for all members of our society, regardless of gender, and actively work towards gender equality in all our endeavors.

One of our key initiatives is to connect farmers to local and international markets, ensuring that the products of our hard work reach consumers worldwide. Through these connections, we aim to create economic opportunities for our members and contribute to the growth of our local economy.

We are also deeply committed to environmental conservation, particularly in the preservation and restoration of mangrove ecosystems. By engaging in mangrove plantation and restoration projects, we strive to protect our coastal areas and promote biodiversity.

From humble beginnings with just a few members, Visiwani Sea Cucumber Farming Limited has grown into a vibrant community with nearly 60 dedicated members. Our cooperative society is rooted in Zanzibar, and we take pride in our local heritage and connection to the land and sea.

Join us in our mission to build a sustainable future for Zanzibar's coastal communities, where prosperity is shared by all and the beauty of our natural environment is preserved for generations to come.
