Local fisheries company Big Fish Maldives, on Thursday, expressed concern over a drop in Yellowfin Tuna prices by 30 percent due to the COVID-19 pandemic, adding that local medias have falsely reported on the price since July.
According to the company, discrepancies in reported figures and actual cost of tuna prices are caused by an issue stemming from the Ministry of Fisheries and Agriculture's 'Keyolhu' portal and the system in which fishermen submit financial reports.
