The ODA post-harvest fisheries project's role in working with the small-scale fishing communities in the post-harvest sub-sector.

The important role that the postharvest fishery sector plays in the economy through increasing food availability, employment and foreign exchange earnings by both the industrial sector and the small scale fishery sector is outlined. Particular emphasis is given to the difficulties that the small scale fishery sector faces with regard to handling, distributing and marketing fresh fish and fishery products. ODA's role in working with the small scale fishing communities in the postharvest sector in India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and the activities that are currently being undertaken are discussed; the need to develop fishing communities socially and economically to address the postharvest issues is also stressed. However, given the interrelated nature and complexities of both industrial and small scale fishery sectors, the postharvest framework must address these issues through joint collaborative efforts of the Government, non-government and the fishing communities.
