Fish farming may be the answer to counter this dilemma.
Fish farming is thriving in the Highlands Region, especially in Goroka, Eastern Highlands Province, and Chimbu.
It is estimated that Goroka has about 500 fish farmers while its neighbour, Chimbu, has about 300 farmers.
These farmers farm super tilapia, common carp and rainbow trout mainly for commercial purposes.
But researchers say fish farming is more than just a business; it has the potential to address some of the country’s health challenges.
