The fisheries sector is included in the competitive segment of the Maldivian Productivity Exhibition 2025, scheduled to be held next May.
Organized under the initiative of the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade to encourage increased productivity and business expansion in the Maldives, this exhibition will be held from May 23 to 31 at Hulhumale' Central Park.
The exhibition has opened opportunities to compete in 14 main areas of Maldivian productivity. The Ministry stated that within the competitive segment of the exhibition, the fisheries sector can be contested in 4 categories. These are: fish products (value-added), new innovations in the fisheries sector, fishing equipment (machinery/tools), and other fisheries products.
Individuals, representatives of islands and cities, registered businesses, educational institutions, civil society organizations, and persons with disabilities can participate in the designated categories for competition in this exhibition.
