Fish exporters have welcomed the move by government to set and regulate prices for fish, especially fish fillet, which falls under assorted fish products.
The exporters believe that setting minimum price will not only bring fair competition among players but will increase revenue collection.
This comes after the Fisheries state minister Hellen Adoa, told journalists in Entebbe that the $6 set for fish fillet exports will stay in order to safeguard the fisheries sector from monopoly and dumping by fish exporters.
“The minimum selling price was arrived at after a consultation meeting between fish processors and exporters,” she said.
Mr Charles Kamoga, the Sese Fresh Packers managing director, said the move is good since most exporters have been under declaring in order to payless levy for assorted fish products.
