ProFishBlue revs up fish trade, feeds three million

The African Development Bank dropped roughly nine million bucks into a fishing program that's apparently helping almost three million people across southern Africa grab better incomes and more food. ProFishBlue pushed over half a million tonnes of cross-border fish trade in four years while training about 250,000 folks in seven countries on everything from quality control to stopping illegal catches. Zimbabwe is one of the spots getting support.

The whole thing kicked off back in 2022, and governments plus private companies met up in Gaborone to celebrate how it's been going. Regional officials basically said they're grateful for the cash, and the program keeps building climate resilience while hooking up communities with better fishing gear and refrigerated trucks to move product around.
