The agriculture ministry also shared the update on major renovations that are currently underway at the Basseterre & Old Road Fisheries Facilities in St Kitts. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Terrance Drew, the facility has been flourishing and fish processing equipment repaired.
All doors and windows have been replaced and fish processing equipment repaired at the facility in Old Road which has been non-operational for several months. Meanwhile, structural repairs, fencing and reinforced gates for security have been installed and a vibrant blue facelift has been given to the once pale green facility in Basseterre.
The ongoing project at the Fisheries facilities aims to ensure profitable and sustainable businesses for local fishers and seafood producers.
In a social media post via Facebook, the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries, Marine Resources and Cooperatives, Samal Duggins, said that the upgrades at the Old Road Fisheries Complex in particular, will allow the men and women in the fishing community to “benefit from a fully upgraded facility including the recommissioning of the commercial ice machine which has been down for some time. I can confirm that the missing parts have been ordered and will arrive in a matter of months.”
Work on the Basseterre Fisheries Complex is expected to wrap up early March, while upgrades to the Old Road Fisheries Complex are to be completed by the end of the first quarter. This will aid in the restoration and resumption of fish processing operations at that facility.
