Fish traders have been asked to take up opportunities in the sector offered by the government.
The PS for MSMEs Development Susan Mang’eni told the traders during an Easter holiday “meet-the-fish-hustlers-tour”, where she reflected on the status of the sector.
She educated the traders on the opportunities in her department for an all-inclusive growth as envisioned in the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda.
Aquaculture and aqua-business are a critical value chain in the country, and through her department, the PS promised to facilitate and accelerate the provision of necessary support including financing, storage and processing facilities.
She added that there would be training and linkage to the market to enable the fish farmers, processors, traders and other players in the value chain to get maximum value for their investments.
