Empowering Fisherwomen In Papua New Guinea By Introducing Innovative Technology

Print Email

The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has introduced the FAO-Thiaroye Technology (FTT) in Papua New Guinea to address the challenges of post-harvest losses within the fisheries sector and to provide better market opportunities. To determine the financial and economic viability, FAO established two demonstration sites and conducted a Financial and Economic Analysis (FEA) to compare traditional smoking practices with the FTT smoking technique. The results showed that the incremental benefit is 59% IRR, and the analysis also identified the sensitive parameters of the business. Moreover, FTT empowers fish operators by solving cold chain, market access, and transport constraints in remote areas. It boosts fish production and quality, reduces losses, and extends shelf life by 5-6 months.
