Description

Provides Phillippines' blue crab fishermen with opportunity to adopt a sustainable fishing method that preserves breeding stock and uses environment friendly biodegradable materials to increase their incomes. Creates additional sources of income for those involved in the crab market value chain: bamboo farmers, pot weavers, and those handling crab meat canning and pasteurization.

We employ deaf mutes in our canning plants.
