A community consultation led by the Kiribati Seafood Verification Division of the Ministry of Fisheries and Ocean Resources and other relevant stakeholders, was held on February 25, 2025, with one of the fishing communities in South Tarawa as part of the preparatory work for the Fish Vending Unit Project, funded by the European Union. This new initiative is being piloted in Teaoraereke West during its trial phase to enhance the safety and quality of fish and fishery products. This work is possible through the funding support of the EU Sector Support Project and the stakeholders involved in this project.
