Maldives Industrial Fisheries Company (MIFCO) announced yesterday that they would give three tonnes of ice to each fishing vessel in efforts to encourage and incentivize fishing.

MIFCO said that they would provide three tonnes of ice to every fishing vessel today until existing stocks run out at their ice plants.

The offer is valid until the end of today.

Fisheries saw a downturn in the Maldives in the past month, with it having picked up once again in August.

Last month, MIFCO transferred four vessels which purchase fish in the south of Maldives to Lhaviyani atoll Felivaru, with a 100 tonne capacity vessel operating in Felivaru transferred to Gaafu Alif Kooddoo.
