The Project will support the development of 80 km of blacktop road links from the landing sites to the nearest factory and/or trunk roads to facilitate safe and time-efficient transport of the catch. Today, the fish are mainly carried on donkey carts, exposing fish to direct sunlight and other contaminating elements for one to two hours before reaching the factory.
The provision of proper roads will encourage motorized efficient transportation, adding to quality, reducing wastage, and allowing better returns for fishermen. Roads will be identified as part of the Cooperative Business and Development plan and constructed by C&W on the provincial farm to market standards and climate proofed.
