American Soybean Association (ASA) and Fisheries Development Board (FDB) of Pakistan have signed an agreement for a three-year programme aimed at improving the capacity, productivity, quality and profitability of the Pakistani fishing industry. The public-private venture is being funded by a $2 million grant from US Department of Agriculture. The programme will begin with six select trial sites and will expand over three years, eventually reaching an estimated 4,000 farmers. It will implement feed trials, with the goal of building capacity in the aquaculture sector and increasing the productivity of fish farmers.
