The Ministry of the Blue Economy and Marine Affairs has announced a temporary operational pause at the Grenville Fish Market scheduled for February 2-3, 2026. This strategic closure will enable comprehensive training programs focused on Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) Standards and Protocols for market personnel.
In collaboration with the Ministry of Health, the initiative aims to elevate food safety protocols and ensure full compliance with both national and international regulatory requirements. The training curriculum is designed to enhance handling procedures, storage practices, and overall hygiene standards within Grenada’s fish market operations.
Regular market activities will recommence on Wednesday, February 4, 2026, following the completion of the educational sessions. Ministry officials have expressed appreciation for public understanding regarding this necessary interruption to standard services.
The implementation of these enhanced safety measures demonstrates the government’s commitment to public health protection and quality assurance in seafood distribution. Such programs contribute significantly to maintaining Grenada’s reputation for food safety excellence and potentially strengthening export capabilities.
