NAIROBI — Braving an early morning chill that swept over a scenic beach-front in Kenya's coastal county of Kwale recently, Abdi Dura offloaded a bucket full of anchovies, locally known as dagaa, onto a waiting truck for delivery to a processing factory in a nearby village.

Currently, Dura is among hundreds of fishermen in Kwale who are supplying anchovies to Huawen Food (Kenya) Export Processing Zone Ltd, a Chinese firm that has established a factory for processing, drying, and packaging the small fish in a serene village on the edge of Kwale.

Earlier, on hand to witness the flagging-off ceremony were Dura and his fellow fishermen, who cheered the move, as they always look forward to improved revenue streams.

"It is an exciting moment to witness the maiden export of anchovies to the Chinese market," Dura said.

Its flagship 3D-printed biological dura mater (ridge) membrane, called ReDura, a replica of tissue covering the brain, has been used in more than 70 countries and regions benefiting more than 300,000 patients, Medprin said.
