Post-harvest loss is one of the main problems in Sri Lankan fish industry. According to Ministry of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources there is a 30% of post-harvest loss in Sri Lankan marine fish industry. This may be due to lack of facilities and lack of knowledge of the fishermen. Under the greening concept the main idea is to increase the resource utilization by maximizing the output and reduce the environment impact. Therefore, by applying the greening concept the post-harvest losses can be reduced and the environment effect could be minimized and maximum gain could be obtained from the existing resources. Establishment of a community based fish processing factory through green supply chain management approaches is tested here as an option to minimize the post-harvest losses in Sri Lankan fish industry.
