Minister of Fisheries, Agriculture, and Ocean Resources Ahmed Shiyam held discussions today with members of the R. Inguraidhoo Island Council to explore collaborative initiatives aimed at advancing the island's fisheries and agricultural sectors.
The meeting took place today at the Ministry of Fisheries, Agriculture, and Ocean Resources.
Discussions focused primarily on expanding Inguraidhoo's fisheries sector and identifying areas where the government can support local agricultural growth. Both sides exchanged ideas on collaborative efforts between the council and the ministry to encourage more youth participation in these industries.
Additionally, details regarding available opportunities were shared, with the Minister briefing the council on the National Farmers’ Registry, the "Aaruveri Matching Grant," and upcoming loan schemes.
The Ministry also affirmed its readiness to conduct technical training programs in fisheries and agriculture—either online or through in-person island visits—upon the council's request.
