Production of canned fish is set to commence in Nigeria before the year runs out.
Chief Rotimi Onibale, National Secretary, Catfish Farmers Association of Nigeria (CAFAN) on Monday said the association would soon start the production of canned catfish in the country.
“Our association is in the process of research to start the production of canned fish in Nigeria and we hope to implement it fully this year because it has been long overdue.
“We hope that before the year runs out, all the research work would have been completed and the product made available to the consumers,’’ he said.
“When the sardines from Tunisia and Morocco go out of production, we will be able to have our own locally made fish to eat and we will also export to other countries,’’ he said.
He added that the proposed canned catfish would have all vital food benefits that would also be good for the growth of children.
