Study for the Improvement of the Chain of Values of the Fishery Products in Pointe-Noire

OUTLINE OF THE PROJECT

Pointe-Noire in the Republic of Congo is the center of the country's marine fisheries and an important base of domestic fish production. However, hygiene management of the catch from landing through processing to sale was inadequate, causing post-harvest losses, and the administrative management system was underdeveloped, so progress in raising the incomes of those involved in fisheries and ensuring a stable supply to consumers had been slow. This project implemented six pilot projects in the city to verify effective ways of supplying safe fish in a stable manner, supporting the development of a plan for a sound fisheries value chain.
