GADVASU is going to give the technical support to the farmers for value-added fish products along with that even a proposal to start a small project on value addition by the state government, too, is in the pipeline.
According to information, Punjab produces 76,000 tonne of fish whereas the consumption of such fish is only restricted to the igrants due to the presence of intra muscular bone in the fish and now to fetch good market both at domestic as well as export level as CIFT has developed a fish meat bone separating machine for GADVASU which separates the pin bones and one could eat the tempting fish without bones.
Giving information, Punjab Fish Farmers’ Association president Kanwaljeet Singh Sidhu, who is also ex-officio member of Fish Farmers SDevelopment Agency and board member of the university, said Punjab has a good market for fresh water fishes, but to increase the level of people’s interest and farmers’ income value addition is the need of the hour and for this a two-day workshop is being organized by the Central Institute of Fisheries Technology (CIFT) in collaboration with college of fisheries GADVASU.
