Maldives Industrial Fisheries Company has started exporting canned tuna to the Middle East.
A first shipment has already been sold with two other shipments now about to be exported, said deputy managing director Ibrahim Athif.
MIFCO is more concerned in maintaining the high quality of its product rather than the prices it fetches, Athif said. “A good market can be obtained by maintaining high quality,†he said.
MIFCO mainly exports its canned tuna to Europe.
