How This Ghanaian Entrepreneur Built 170 Fish Farms From Scratch...

FROM THE STAGE TO THE POND: Meet Ghana’s Fish Farming Trailblazer – Gabriel Lartey! 🐟🔥

In this episode, I spoke with one of Ghana’s most inspiring and unconventional entrepreneurs — Gabriel Lartey, the visionary behind Lartman Farms. With a degree in Theatre Arts and Study of Religions from the University of Ghana, Gabriel took an unexpected turn from the stage to the world of aquaculture — and he’s absolutely killing it.

Lartman Farms isn’t your average fish farm. From producing fingerlings and fresh grow outs to serving up smoked and grilled catfish, Gabriel is redefining what’s possible in backyard and commercial aquaculture. His mission? To turn everyday people into successful fish farmers — and he’s doing just that.

So far, Lartman Farms has: ✅ Consulted over 1,200 individuals
✅ Trained 287 aspiring fish farmers through practical two-day workshops
✅ Helped establish more than 170 farms — both in Ghana and for Africans in the diaspora

His passion and results have caught the attention of major platforms like CNN’s Focus on Africa and GTV’s Farmers Day — but Gabriel remains deeply grounded in his mission to empower youth and communities through sustainable farming.

And the best part? He’s not keeping the knowledge to himself. Gabriel runs the Lartman Farms YouTube channel, where he shares expert tips, success stories, and hard truths with his 40,000+ subscribers. If you’re thinking about aquaculture or looking for a side hustle that can grow into a full-blown business, this conversation is your sign to start.

🌟 He’s also the proud recipient of the 2024 ‘Rising Star of the Aquaculture Industry’ award by Aquaculture Ghana.

Trust me — this is more than just fish farming. This is about passion, purpose, and powerfully transforming lives.
