This week in Pakistan ASAs World Initiative for Soy in Human Health (WISHH) program formally inaugurated the E-750 Extrusion equipment shipped to local private-sector partner Oryza as part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)-funded FEEDing Pakistan program. Oryza will use the extruder to produce high protein floating fish feed with U.S. soybean meal— the first feed of its kind to be produced in Pakistan.
The inauguration organized by WISHH Country Representative R.S.N. Janjua was attended by: Richard T. Drennan, Agricultural Counselor, Islamabad; Director General, Fisheries Department, Punjab; Vice Chancellor, University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences; Chhorn Lim, Auburn University; progressive fish farmers; representatives from the government of Pakistan; and members of academia.
This new technology has the capability to greatly improve the aquaculture sector and to impact food security in Pakistan.
