Kochi: The Matsyafed (Kerala State Co-operative Federation for Fisheries Development Limited) is planning to implement home delivery of fish considering the Covid situation. The customers can place order by sending a message via WhatsApp to the Matsyafed. Fish will be delivered within 10 kilometres limit of each Matsyafed unit.

The home delivery system was planned as the number of customers coming to Matsyafed shops declined during lockdown. Matsyafed has already implemented selling fish in vehicles with freezer at major places. The vehicle reaches each place on scheduled days. Raw fish, cleaned fish and value-added products from fish are sold this way.

The variety of fish chosen by the customer will be delivered in their households as per the home delivery system. Fish will be delivered in two wheeler. Rs 20 is collected as delivery charge within 5 kilometres limit and Rs 20 within 10 kilometres limit. Fish from the farms under fisheries department also will be delivered in this system.
