Iran plans to establish 3 more fish silage production enterprises in the current Iranian year (from March 21, 2021 through March 20, 2022), Deputy Chairman of Iran Fisheries Organization Isa Golshahi said, Trend reports citing Ministry of Agriculture Jihad.

According to him, fish silage is a kind of liquid protein and contains enzymes to make food easier to digest.

Golshahi added that the first enterprise on fish silage production was put into operation in Iran in the last Iranian year (from March 20, 2020 through March 20, 2021). The enterprise currently produces 6 tons of fish silage daily. If enough of fish intestines is available, production can be increased to 10 tons daily.

The deputy chairman noted that large amount of money is needed to set up a fish silage enterprise. Meanwhile, production of fish silage has already been mastered in Iran.

“In addition, Iran produced about 180,000 tons of trout in the last Iranian year. It is planned to produce about the same amount of trout in the current Iranian year,” he said.
