The Standard this week carried an exclusive report of how fish from China have flooded the local market as local fish breeding grounds run dry. The report also showed how fish processing companies in Nyanza region have scaled owns their operations in favour of Chinese fish imports. The MPs said the importation has severely affected fish-producing regions economically, as hundreds of local fish mongers have been pushed out of business. The fish, according to the special report, is frozen and exported to Kenya by Zhangzou Longyi Food Company Limited. The MPs said while the European Union had strict regulations on fish exports from Africa, Kenya’s regulations are still lax.
