Smoked and Canned Products
Smoked and canned oyster and mussels and cooked and canned tuna, marlin, mackerel and
sardine were initially packed in imported aluminium cans with easy open lids. The products
were later on packed in indigenous tin cans by a chilling import substitution. As a next
step indigenous aluminum cans were standardised and products were marketed in these cans.
Various formulations for canned fish with different packing media were tested and
popularised during the past two decades. The products were reached to consumers in the
urban sector and large-scale users such as defense department. Trials for downward
vertical integration by setting up a can reforming line is in progress.
