Abstract: | This article reviews the potential for improved use of fisheries resources in the nine SADCC countries: Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe. All nine countries have significant problems of malnutrition and the author concludes that fisheries resources could make a substantially greater contribution to nutrition. Supply, processing and distribution of fisheries products are reviewed, and the benefits of improved kapenta (small dried fish) and aquaculture production are discussed. Notes, ref. |
