An Ultra-modern fish processing plant has been inaugurated for the people of the Central region at Elmina.

The eleven million dollar fish processing plant have several components, including a cold store which can take in 100 tonnes of fish and a machine for the processing and packaging of fish.

The Elmina area is a predominantly fishing community and the Plant comes as great relief as post-harvest loses will be a thing of the past.
