Discussions underway to relocate Kanduoiygiri Fisheries Complex to Hulhumale'

Minister of Fisheries and Ocean Resources Ahmed Shiyam said that discussions are underway with the Housing Development Corporation (HDC) to acquire land in Hulhumale' instead of Kanduoiygiri in Kaafu atoll.

Kanduoiygiri, currently used by Maldives Industrial Fisheries Company Ltd (MIFCO) to process fish products, faces challenges such as a shallow harbor and a damaged seawall, making it difficult for vessels to anchor and the facility to be utilized properly despite having a high quality fisheries complex.
