A team from MIFCO departed for Thailand yesterday to attend the 18th Infofish World Tuna Conference and Exhibition.

The conference is the largest tuna conference held among companies and associations involved in the processing, marketing, and sale of fish products in the global seafood industry. The conference is being held from yesterday to Tuesday at the Shangri-La Hotel in Thailand.

CEO Ahmed Shamah Rasheed and several other senior officials of the company are representing MIFCO at the event.

Shamah said the main purpose of participating in the conference is to find new ways to increase MIFCO's capacity and strengthen the services provided to fishermen.

MIFCO aims to increase the income of the fishermen and solve the difficulties faced by them, he said. He further added that MIFCO's work can also be strengthened by working closely with the fishermen.

The fair will promote MIFCO's products to the international market and attract new customers according to CEO Shamah.

The Infofish World Tuna Conference and Exhibition will discuss the challenges facing the fishing industry in industrial production.

The importance of sustainable fishing and ways to develop the fishing industry will also be shared with international stakeholders.
