    Lankan octopuses to foreign countries

    May 07, 2016

    Ministry of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Development has drawn up a special programme to export octopuses in cooperation with a Chinese company which has the backing of the Chinese government.

    The ministry said the sea area around the country is abound with octopuses, which is a much relished food item in countries including China.


    It is expected that these would be a good export market for this variety of mollusc.


    Several rounds of discussions have already been held with the Chinese company in this connection and they hoped to sign an agreement soon to begin the export trade.
