Yalelo Uganda Information

We grow tilapia fish in the open waters and stunning beauty of Lake Victoria. Our pens are the largest in Africa, providing an open environment to swim far and deep against natural lake currents. This environment produces a fish that is stronger and leaner, with a taste our customers have come to love over generations. We never use antibiotics, chemicals or growth hormones. Our fish enjoy a diet based on soy, maize and wheat. They don’t eat mud, waste or algae that can be found at the bottom of fish ponds. Because our fish eat only the high-quality balanced diet we provide them there’s no mystery about what is on your plate. Using only the best local fish food keeps our fish healthy and gives a great clean taste! Tilapia is an excellent part of a healthy diet. It is a natural source of protein and calcium while being low in fat and cholesterol. Yalelo’s professional local production is lowering the cost tilapia, making animal protein more affordable and presenting a strong value proposition relative to chicken, pork and beef. We place our fish on ice from the moment of harvest and deliver nation-wide using our own fleet of refrigerated trucks. This reliable cold-chain provides customers with a traceable quality they can depend on. Yalelo, from the local Ugandan word “today”, reminds our customers daily that we’re Uganda’s favourite fresh local fish!
