This is to enable SMEs involved in the fishing industry, to prepare, process and export their products to the market.
The announcement was made yesterday by the Minister for Fisheries, Patrick Basa, when officiating at the Pacific Seafood and Technology Exposition 2017.
He said this will be captured in NFA’s program and budget for the next 3 years, commencing in 2018.
Basa noted the struggle of local seafood companies in developing and bringing products to their markets to meet the demand, or consistency, in their supply.
