    Fish Protein Concentrate (FPC) has the potential of feeding the world. Special processing plants, such as the Alpine FPC Plant at New Bedford, Mass., convert fish like hake into a powder which is nearly pure protein. This flour from the sea has no taste and can be added to a wide variety of foods to increase the nutritional value. The United States Agency for International Development has contracted for the production of FPC for pilot marketing projects in Chile.
