The 2-weeks course on quality management in fish handling and processing sector took place, in collaboration with the Department of Fisheries, Kenya, Matis - Food Research and Innovation Institute, Moi University and United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization (UNFAO).
Description
The fish inspector’s basic and advanced courses were held back to back at the Mombasa beach hotel in 2008. The participants in the basic course were trainee fish inspectors from the Ministry of Fisheries Development and participants in the advanced course were from the Ministry’s trainee fish inspectors and authorised inspectors, Moi University Department of Fisheries lecturers and fish processing industry’s quality assurance managers.
