In addition to the technical training, the fishers’ organizational capacity is strengthened by establishing a fishers’ association in each Fisher Management Area. All fishers receive trainings in basic technical skills to enable them to develop and run the business profitably by organizing fishing, holding, packing and transporting activities according to market demands, seasonal variations, and other factors.

The FFD training team also assists the fishers to develop their business skills, such as quality control in documentation, post harvest handling, and packing, developing and maintaining reliable communications and interactions with their buyers and implementing sound and well documented financial transactions.
