Adèle Djiry is a pioneering young aquaculture entrepreneur from Burkina Faso, known for her innovative fish farming business, 'Faso démè', which specializes in the production of tilapia and other fish species. At just 28 years old, she has made significant strides in a traditionally male-dominated field, focusing on the production of quality fish fry and aiming to expand her output to six million male fry annually.
