A new mobile application is delivering crucial aquaculture information to small-scale fish farmers who have restricted access to extension services due to lockdown measures in Myanmar.
The Shwe Ngar app, which was developed by WorldFish and partners with funding from USAID, provides fish farming families with timely information on how to stock and feed fish, fish health, and aquaculture technologies, as well as nutrition, water, sanitation, and hygiene practices. The app also connects fish farmers to suppliers, traders, and others in order to strengthen the country’s fisheries value chains.
