Malaysia achieves self-sufficiency in fish to satisfy 28 million
(fis.com) Malaysia has achieved self-sufficiency in fish to satisfy the needs of 28 million people in the country, said Fisheries director-general Datuk Ahamad Sabki Mahmood.
He said the national fish catch had reached 1.3 billion kg, compared to a requirement of 700 million kg annually.
Mr Ahamad Sabki said the positive development had allowed the local fish catch to be exported, especially good quality fish like the hybrid grouper and red snapper, and prawns, thus increasing the national income.
