Empowering Fisherfolks to Develop their Product for Alternative Markets
This project is geared toward sustainable livelihood development by utilizing solar drying technology. With the abundance of fish in and out of the peak season, the cooperative is introducing this drying technology as the first step, followed by salting to increase shelf life. The process also increases the value added to the fish for marketability. The Co-operative’s main objective is to meet the needs of the Fisherfolks in the community, by empowering them (males and females) in fish processing for local and international markets. Food safety training, procurement of a commercial solar dehydrator and weighing, packaging and labelling materials are some of the items that are paramount to executing the project initiative.
