Plan ingredient procurement with the Business Development Officer, including bulk buying at harvest when prices are lowest, and plan feed supply to the three project farms and other buyers. Run the centre as a practical training hub for youth groups and other fish farmers in feed formulation and processing. 5. Processing, value addition and marketing: Train members in fish processing: smoking and drying with improved kilns, hygiene, packaging and storage. The aim is to reduce post-harvest losses and add value. Help set up fee-based smoking services for non-member producers where feasible. With the Market Linkages and Digital Solutions Officer, link farms to buyers in Maiduguri markets, restaurants, institutions and traders.
