Albina Tavares, Olinda Lagur and other<br />
friends were excited to learn how they<br />
could combine resources from the ocean<br />
and their gardens. It also meant the fish<br />
could be bought when it was abundant and<br />
cheap, and sold over a longer period.<br />
But setting up a small business from scratch<br />
in a rural community is not easy. Some<br />
ingredients, like olive oil, are expensive and<br />
only sold in Dili. The women experimented<br />
with locally produced coconut oil, but<br />
unfortunately it was not successful in<br />
maintaining the flavour of the sardines. One<br />
group has now decided to focus its efforts<br />
on the nutritious fish powder as it is easier<br />
and cheaper to make. With assistance<br />
from WorldFish Timor-<strong>Leste</strong>, the group has<br />
started to sell its product in supermarkets<br />
in Dili and is looking for other markets,<br />
possibly at the local hospital or school<br />
morning tea program.<br />
