Amman-AlBaqaa
The Fish Research Department and Ghor Al Safi Agricultural Research Station jointly organized a marketing day at the farm of one of the beneficiaries of the project implemented in cooperation with the Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
Dr. Nizar Haddad, the Director General of NARC, said that this participatory day with small-scale fish farmers is a very important activity to conduct, since it facilitates their direct participation and builds their knowledge on how to market the product, enabling them to recognize the desired types for marketing. He also asserted that NARC researchers are always keen to exert every possible effort to disseminate the outputs of agricultural research to achieve sustainable development.
On the role of NARC, Mrs Hamda Al Hwaimel said that she is grateful for the idea of securing additional sources of income for poor families in Ghor Al SAFI through this project, where she personally was able to breed fish in agricultural ponds, find a source of income and create marketing channels with the support of the research staff at NARC.
