The apex Fisheries cooperative federation FISHCOPFED has opened its sixth office in Chennai recently. The cooperative federation has been on expansion mode in recent years.
Last month it set up a fresh fish shop in New Moti Bagh in N Delhi- an area that has come up offering habitats to the top bureaucrats of the country.
After change in the management of Fishcopfed in 2006 when the current Managing Director B K Mishra took over, the cooperative Federation has been on growth path.
The incumbent MD worked hard and soon cleared off Fishcopfed liabilities and began to register profit-prompting cooperators of the stature of Iffco MD U S Awasthi christening Fishcopfed as a cooperative success story.
The federation has already opened six regional units in the country besides its headquarters in Delhi. The regional offices are located in Guwahati, Bhubaneswar, Raipur, Hyderabad, Nagpur and Chennai.
Talking to Indian Cooperative Fishcopfed MD B K Mishra said that Chennai office would cater to the needs of fishermen in the southern part of the country. “The geographical locations of our regional offices are such that we are able to cover whole of India”, Mishra added.
