Article by May 22, 2021
The modernisation of Barbados’ fishing industry is well underway with the renovation of five fish markets and planned improvements at an additional three.
The Pile Bay Fish Landing Facility has joined the list of renovated markets featuring top quality material on the countertops, which allows it to meet the phytosanitary standards required for exporting fish.
Renovated at a cost of $1.5 million by the Barbados Port Inc. (BPI), the market, known for its Sunday limes and bustling business, is now disabled friendly and outfitted with solar panels on the roof, in support of Government’s thrust towards renewable energy. It also features lighting designed to protect hatchling turtles, and has a variety of plants.
