While UK will be using some <strong>of</strong> these funds to investigate marketing opportunities forprocessed goat meat, <strong>KSU</strong> will be focusing on a wide range <strong>of</strong> agricultural products such as tilapia, catfishand prawns that could be sold relatively unprocessed from the farm to Hispanic consumers in Kentucky.There are good marketing prospects in this area where the strengths <strong>of</strong> Kentucky’s farms — such asproximity to population centers, a large variety <strong>of</strong> natural resources, and the potential for small-scalediversification into aquaculture — could capture much interest from our large Hispanic population.www.ksuaquaculture.org
