PREFACE

This document is the report of a 12-day training course held in December 1979 for officials of Tamil Nadu state in South India who are concerned with fish marketing. The course was organised jointly by the Tamil Nadu Directorate of Fisheries and the Bay of Bengal Programme (BOBP).

The report describes the conduct of the course, and discusses in detail the principal method of instruction adopted, the " business game” and the response to it from participants. The report also reproduces the manual supplied to participants containing data for the business game.

The report may be found useful by small-scale fisheries planners, by people engaged in fish marketing, and by organisers of similar training courses and workshops. The training course was an activity of the Bay of Bengal Programme for the Development of Small-Scale Fisheries, referred to in brief as the Bay of Bengal Programme. Its main aims are to develop and demonstrate technologies to improve the conditions of the small-scale fishermen and the supply of fish from the small-scale sector in five countries bordering the Bay of Bengal-Bangladesh, India, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Thailand.

The Programme is executed by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations and funded by the Swedish International Development Authority.
