Reel Change: President Muizzu Promises Prosperity for Fishermen by 2026
President Dr Mohamed Muizzu said the government's fisheries sector transformation plan is on track for completion within two years, outlining expansion of tuna storage and processing, fuel and ice access, faster payments to fishermen, vessel registration, marine safety and fisheries education. He announced that skipjack tuna storage will rise from 8,500 to 25,000 tonnes and processing from 115 to 355 tonnes.
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
