  "summary": "The Fisheries Ministry of Ghana has announced plans to crack down on illegal and unsafe fish processing methods, with the aim of protecting public health and reducing post-harvest losses. Minister Emelia Arthur warned that any method compromising fish quality or endangering public health will be targeted. She emphasized the importance of adopting best practices for fish processing, as Ghana continues to lose valuable fish due to poor handling and inefficient processing methods. To ensure compliance, the ministry will collaborate with various authorities, including the Ghana Standards Authority and Food and Drugs Authority, to establish and enforce standards throughout the fish value chain.",
