Minister of Fisheries and Ocean Resources Ahmed Shiyam said the administration's outlook is to stop exporting raw fish and instead prioritise exports of processed, value-added fish products. He said the Maldives' catch is 120,000 tonnes per annum, of which about 75 percent of exports is raw material, and outlined a goal of exporting zero raw materials.
One outlet so far Only Maldives Republic has reported this among the sources we monitor. A gap in what we monitor, not proof that others did not report it.
Minister of Fisheries and Ocean Resources Ahmed Shiyam said on Thursday while speaking at a press conference highlighting the Mohamed Muizzu administration’s first 100 day in office.
Word for word from the report in Maldives Republic. Open the report
The biggest goal [priority] is to export fish with added value. Currently, the Maldives’ catch is 120,000 tonnes per annum. When there is, about 62, 65 tonnes of fish exported. Seventy five percent of that is exported as raw material
Therefore, our goal is towards [exporting] zero raw materials. Our goal is to export fish not only canned but also by adding value through other processing methods
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
