Papua New Guinea: Fisheries hub to be built

Print Email

Justin Ilakini, Managing Director of the National Fisheries Authority of Papua New Guinea, provided an update on the K105 million project initiated in January 2022 aimed at developing the Voco Point coastal fisheries hub in Lae. He said that the project, which had experienced a two-year delay due to funding issues, will now be resumed back this year.

While outlining the project phases to establish a coastal fisheries hub for products from Morobe and its surrounding provinces with inland fisheries, aquaculture and coastal fisheries, he emphasized the hub's role in enhancing the mobilization of seafood volume and supply within the region to promote healthier nutrition intake.

This initiative aligns with the suggestions of Lae MP John Rosso to address the needs of the community, meet NFA requirements, and establish key offshore processing infrastructures.
