Academia and industry need to develop together Sample Clauses

Academia and industry need to develop together. On the one hand, producers need to have access to scientific advice. On the other hand, academia needs to understand the needs of the industry development and support it with research. Aquaculture is a very small industry in South Africa with reported commercial production in 2019 of 7103t comprising of abalone (Haliotis midae; 1657t), trout (Onchorhynchus mykiss; 1550t), mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis and Xxxxx xxxxx; 3055t), oysters (Crassostrea gigas; 383t) and tilapia species (460t) (Data supplied by the Department of Fisheries, Forestry and Environmental Affairs).

Under these policies, aquaculture is viewed as a means of alleviating poverty, unemployment, and inequality through enhanced food security. Commercial aquaculture development is supported through the Department of Trade and Industry’s Industrial Policy Action Plan (IPAP3), which provides a suite of capital and other grants for developing aquaculture enterprises. The South African government has implemented a policy of stimulating investment into commercial aquaculture by means of grants and subsidies.
