As part of KSVD’s ongoing efforts to ensure seafood export eligibility for the international markets, KSVD and GSD officers returned from Kiritimati Island on 24 March following a one-week duty trip. The trip funded by the PROP allow the team to conduct a second round of ciguatera monitoring over three days, focusing on locating key fishing grounds and reef fish species targeted for export. Additionally, inspections were successfully carried out at existing seafood establishments to promote and ensure compliance with food safety and hygiene standards required for export. The team also conducted a good hygienic practices training to the Kiritimati Solar Salt and Seaweed Company to enhance their understanding on the required export standards. Lastly, KSVD extends its sincere appreciation to the Honorable Minister Linnix for his support to the team, colleagues on Kiritimati Island for their assistance, local fishermen for their skill and expertise in successfully harvesting the required and targeted species, seafood companies for their cooperation, and PROP for its financial support.
