WorldFish and the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries (MAF) provide technical support and guidance to 190 aquatic food producers across Timor-Leste, who are increasingly expanding and enhancing their farming operations, leading to higher production and supporting greater aquatic food consumption.
