Commitment description

There are limited uses for fish in Africa. We will promote nutritional improvement in Africa through workshops that teach women in fishing villages in Africa about the various ways of using fish that Japan has used since ancient times, especially "surimi processing techniques", and also teach them how to make processed products and manage them. It also contributes to women's independent activities.
