This manual has been produced to help introduce better practices that can help people make more from the fish they catch, process and sell, as well as help them reduce post-harvest losses. The manual supports the standards related to small-scale fisheries promoted by COMESA and the EAC and is designed to help encourage the adoption of these standards by fishermen, processors, traders, fish farmers and transporters and so improve business and regional trade. The manual is designed for use by comm unity trainers as well fishermen, processors, fish farmers and traders to use to help them improve their businesses and teach others about good fish handling practices. It can also be used by extension workers and NGO’s interested in achieving the same objective.
