The President, Ufuoma United Fish Farmers Association in Delta,Mr Fischer Ogwugwu, has pleaded with the Delta State Government to look into fish exportation from the state with a view to making the dreams of the association a reality.

According to Ogwugwu in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Asaba, the association dreams of achieving the vision but is limited in capacity  for processing

He said  the association, which has more than 1,000 members, has the largest cat fish farm in West Africa located at Ekpan, Uwvie Local Government Area of the state producing more than 10 tons of fish on a daily basis all year round.

“We need support from government, banks, willing partners, and even non-governmental organisations to enable us to break into the international market.We produce so much fish, but we don’t have buyers; if we can process and package the fish and export, every member of the association will be better off.The local market women have taken advantage of the excess supply to the extent that they determine the prices.So, we want to break into the international market to earn foreign exchange and expand our businesses.”
