Abstract

This is a study on a Pilot testing of a low-cost portable fish drier by 20 collaborating households in both Kale and Shwebo Townships, Sagaing Region and 20 households in Kengtung Township, Shan State was supported under the Myanmar Sustainable Aquaculture Programme (MYSAP) which is funded by the European Union (EU) and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and which is implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH and the Department of Fisheries. The aim of the study was to produce food safe dried fish by subsistence households and to promote use of dried powdered SIS that can be added into rice porridge or noodle soup as a complementary food for infants over six months of age and in family foods for young children. Feedback from the 60 collaborating households that piloted the portable fish drier is summarized in this report, will be used to further improve the current drier design and to understand what encourages and hinders the usage of the pilot drier and this improved, but simple, applied technology.
