FRUIT peels may no longer be considered as wastes, as the result of the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (Seafdec) study suggests that they can be used as additives for tilapia feed.

The pesticide residue analyses also indicated that among the agricultural waste samples examined, mango peel and citrus peel had pesticide residue levels but still below the maximum residual limits set by FAO Codex Alimentarius.
