This report concerns the domestic trade in frozen fish sourced from Lake Tana in Ethiopia.
It has been prepared for the Improving Productivity and Market Success (IPMS) of
Ethiopian farmers project implemented by the International Livestock Research Institute
(ILRI) on behalf of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MoARD) of
Ethiopia. The project seeks to contribute to the commercial transformation of subsistence
agriculture through improved consideration of marketing opportunities and constraints.
The field work was undertaken in June 2006 by a team comprising representatives of the
Fisheries Research Unit of the Amhara Region Agricultural Research Institute (ARARI) on
Lake Tana, Fogera Woreda Office for Agricultural and Rural Development (WOARD) and
the WorldFish Center.
