Book excerpt: This training workshop aims to improve the entrepreneurial capacity of organized small-scale aquaculture producers to develop a market for their products, integrate their enterprise in the value chain, and participate effectively in the value chain. The main participants were the members of a women’s association called the Binmaley Rural Improvement Club (BRIC). They are farming milkfish, and processing and marketing milkfish-based product forms. The technical sessions had three parts: (1) presentations of the case study, five learning modules, and overview of a national programme on ‘Gender responsive economic actions for the transformation of women’, (2) group exercises on the three selected topics, i.e. generating innovative product ideas, developing a basic business plan for a product, and improving the market for existing products, and (3) discussion on the case study and on the working group results. The programme included a field trip to the existing processing facility of BRIC.
