A 1,500-hectare shrimp farm, in which a total of 420 billion rials ($1.8 million) worth of public and private investments have been made, will be launched within the next three months in Chabahar’s Rudik-e Karim Bakhsh Village, the director general of Sistan-Baluchestan Fisheries Organization said.
“The project has so far made 90% progress and will generate around 3,000 direct and indirect jobs when it’s complete,” Mohammad Shahlibar was also quoted as saying by IRNA.
The official noted that the farm will have 287 pools where shrimps will be produced for domestic consumption and exports.
