SINAPS Consult has been recently invited in Iran by Golden Group and Sabalan Fisheries Developer for a week in order to promote its activities and expertise.
Other companies such as FMD Middle East, Faivre, Biovac and Aqualande were also invited to this event.
We were very well received at the Ministry for Fisheries. The Director of the Department of Aquaculture Development, M. Abdolhay, invited us to present our expertise and the scope of our activities, to a delegation of the Ministry as well as other stakeholders. (See photo on left)
SINAPS Consult was offered the opportunity to visit some of the future production sites and invited to meet several project holders particularly interested in our activities.
SINAPS Consult went to the island of Qeshm and visited the hatchery of FMD Middle East whose purpose is to provide fish farms of the region with top quality juveniles.
In the last day, a workshop devoted to ongoing aquaculture projects was organized at the Ministry for Fisheries. SINAPS Consult presented its strategies regarding three specific areas identified as requiring strong support: (i) staff training, (ii) production process and (iii) equipment selection. The first two areas require most attention, as they need to be optimally managed in order to reach the objectives of the projects within the proposed timeline. Equipment supply raised some concerns. More specifically, relevant decision on equipment selection cannot be gained exclusively through supplier’s advice. To this end, independent opinion based on neutral expertise is essential. The meeting concluded with an open question and answers session and was attended by an enthusiastic public.
