The Ebonyi Government has urged fish farmers in the state to embrace modern packaging techniques to improve the value chain in the sub-sector.

Mr. Moses Nomeh, the Commissioner for Agriculture and Natural Resources, dropped the hint in Abakaliki during a meeting with the members of the Fisheries Cooperative Federation of Nigeria.

He informed that Ebonyi rice was being sold worldwide because of its modern packaging.

“We want an improvement in the packaging system of fish to boost the value chain”, he told the farmers. Stressing that poor packaging slows down business.

“In an open market, we want fish farmers to sell their fish using weigh scales. We also want them to improve their packaging so that we can sell the fish in other states of the country.

“We have ordered members of the Fisheries Cooperative Federation to inaugurate a committee that can identify farmers in all villages in the 13 local government areas of the state.
