The Maldives Industrial Fisheries Company Limited (MIFCO) has officially opened its seventh fish outlet (Masfihaara) in Fuvahmulah City, marking another significant milestone in the company’s ongoing efforts to expand its retail network and strengthen access to quality fish products across the Maldives.

The newly established outlet is the second MIFCO fish outlet to open outside the Greater Malé region, following the opening of a fish outlet in Hithadhoo, Addu City, towards the end of May this year. The expansion forms part of MIFCO’s broader strategy to establish fish outlets in cities across the country, bringing its products closer to consumers.

The Fuvahmulah outlet is located within the Fuvahmulah Harbour area, adjacent to the Fuvahmulah Fish Processing Facility. The outlet was officially inaugurated by MIFCO’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Mohamed Anas, in the presence of senior company officials and members of the local community.

Through this new outlet, residents of Fuvahmulah will have convenient and uninterrupted access to MIFCO’s full range of products at affordable prices. The establishment of the outlet is expected to enhance product accessibility while strengthening MIFCO’s distribution network in the southern region of the Maldives.

With the opening of the Fuvahmulah outlet, MIFCO now operates seven retail outlets nationwide, comprising two outlets in Malé, three in Hulhumalé, one in Hithadhoo, Addu City, and one in Fuvahmulah City.

MIFCO remains committed to expanding its operations, increasing production capacity, and ensuring the consistent availability of high-quality fish products at affordable prices for consumers across the Maldives.

In line with the Government’s broader fisheries development objectives, the company also continues to play an important role in strengthening the fisheries sector, creating greater value within the industry, and enhancing economic opportunities and income for Maldivian fishermen.

The opening of the Fuvahmulah fish outlet represents another step towards MIFCO’s vision of making quality Maldivian fish products more accessible to communities across the nation while contributing to the sustainable development of the country’s fisheries industry.
