Metro Türkiye, a subsidiary of METRO AG, a multinational wholesaler for customers in the hotel, restaurant and catering industry, launched a project to support small-scale trout producers in the Muğla province of Türkiye with the technical support of FAO fisheries and aquaculture experts from the Subregional Office for Central Asia. The project was developed in the framework of the International Year of Artisanal Fisheries and Aquaculture (IYAFA) 2022. As part of the project, Metro delivered training on “Food Safety and Quality in Fish and Fishery Products” and “Social Compliance in Trout Value Chain” to small trout producers. As a result, small-scale fish farms enhanced their knowledge and capacities to implement sustainable production methods, as well as their market connectivity, through better integration into national value chains since sustainably raised trout from selected fish farms will be sold by Metro stores.
