Thirty women in Musukui, north of Malaita Province have successfully gone through fish bottling and food safety training.

The one-day training on Tuesday, December 9, was aimed at providing basic knowledge of fish bottling and food safety, which is very important for them as they are involved in daily roadside fish markets. 

According to Malaita Senior Fisheries Officer Mathew Isihanua, the training was conducted for the Ward 7 women’s association. 

He said that during the training, the women learnt a lot and were very excited for the training to come to their doorstep. 

“The women participants were all excited to attend the one-day training. They expressed their happiness for such an important training to happen at the community level,” he said. 

“They even want more training, especially in value addition, as it will support their daily roadside markets,” he added.

Meanwhile, the women acknowledged their provincial member for Ward 7, Hon. Mike Salega, for funding the vital training for them.

The training was the first of its kind in Ward 7, North Malaita Constituency, Malaita Province.

It was facilitated by the Senior Fisheries Officer in Auki and funded by the Ward 7 Provincial Member, Mike Salega.
