Steve Moran

It is Steve's professional aspiration to find himself at the forefront of African aquaculture, developing appropriate technologies and catalysing the industry on the continent through the successful development of large-scale commercial fishfarms. By demonstrating the potential for aquaculture on the continent it is Steve’s vision to see the industry contribute sustainably towards food security and help alleviate rural poverty. Towards this aim, in partnership with a good friend and colleague Joseph Rehmann; Steve launched Victory Farms on the Kenyan shores of Lake Victoria in 2016 with the mission to be the world's most sustainable fish business and help provide high quality nutrition to the mass market in Africa. Previously, Steve has worked in consultancy projects across Africa and he spent seven years as the General Manager at Tropo Farms Ltd. in Ghana. During that period the farm grew from a relatively small-scale pond farm to the second largest tilapia farm in Africa, increasing production from 260MT in 2006 to over 6000MT in 2012, without any external equity support. Prior to this, he was involved in a number of community level aquaculture projects in Africa; whilst also gaining experience within the UK ornamental trade; both retail and wholesale.
