FAO hosts training for seabob fishers

Participants in the Training of Trainers session

As part of its efforts to increase awareness on emerging local and international market requirements related to quality and safety of seabob products, from harvesting through to preparation, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), in collaboration with the Caribbean Regional Fisheries Mechanism (CRFM), conducted a two-day “Training of Trainers” workshop for workers in the seabob sector.

This was stated in a release by the FAO which noted that seabob (Xiphopenaeus kroyeri), a shrimp species harvested from the Atlantic Ocean, is one of Guyana’s key exports, with the country being one of the world’s leading exporters.
